Hello!
I read carefully your query.
Yes,taking thyronorn 100 mcg the morning of the day you have to run thyroid tests can affect the test results.For this reason is recommended to skip the dose the morning of the day test and take the dose after have done the test.
I suggest to repeat the thyroid tests,following the recommendation so you can have a real result in order to avoid unnecessary dosage changes in your therapy.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
