This is something that has bothered me as well. There seems to be no

acknowledgement by thyroid or adrenal experts of normal post-ovulatory

temp rises. In the latter part of my cycle, my basal temps are often

elevated (as they should be) and daytime temps can easily be 99.1 or

even higher.

Broda does address this in his book Hypothyroidism The

Unsuspected Illness. Pages 47-48

The basal temp can be taken by a man any time, Not so for a woman.

During the menstrual years, temperature fluctuates during the cycle, as

every woman knows. It is highest shortly before the start of the

menstrual flow, and lowest at the time of ovulation. During a woman';s

menstrual years then, the temperature curve is such that basal

temperature is best measured on the second and third days of the period

after flow starts. Before the menarche or after the menopause, the basal

temperature may be taken on any day "

Now i'm thoroughly confused. It was my understanding

that the higher post-ov temps would affect the entire day,

not just the basal temp. That's certainly the case for me.

I'll be interested in hearing what your gyno has to offer --

and i'll check my copy of Toni Weschler's Taking Charge

of YourFertility to see what she has to say, if anything,

about daytime temps.

Why does she recommend taking it at a time when it's

naturally going to be lower (while menstruating) which

will show hypothyroidism in nearly everyone women

because it's suppose to be that low at that time.

Something is missing here.

Yes, he says to start taking temps. on the second and

third day which I find to be the lowest of the entire

month. The week of the cylce is generally very low.
