Stopping the biotin just a few days before the test gives a false reading. The biotin actually interferes with the absorption all month of the thyroid medication. Best to separate the times you take the biotin from the thyroid med by a good 4 hours. Take the biotin at bed time thyroid medication in a.m.

I do, as I stated, I take thyroid in the morning, and biotin at night. That is approximately 8 hours between doses.
I still am getting a bad reading for my thyroid blood test. The dr. knows that I stop the biotin for about 3=4 days before testing, she suggested that stoppage.
Very confusing!
