[Guest guest]

hypo. WHat are your temps?

The averages are steady at about 98.3 at 25 mg. but I didn't start measuring

them until I hit 25 because I was relying on just bp, which always dropped.

My BBT ranges from 97.2 - 97.5 - usually it goes up at the second half of my

cycle, which is supposed to be now, but it didn't this time. So either it's

lower than usual or I still haven't ovulated yet.

Your daily averages are sayign you are still hypo, but your basals say

you may not be. Thsi is a perfect example of the lower end of acceptable

basal temps not being enough to consider you are not hypo. You are

porbably liek me and need basals around 98.3-98.4 If your temps are

steady I owuld consider a thyroid increase.

OK....I did raise by 2.5 mcg. of Cytomel yesterday and my energy seems a bit

better today but my allergies seem worse.

The other thing is I am on 40 mcg. of Cytomel and 1 1/4 grains of Westhroid

right now. A few months ago I was at 50 mcg. Cytomel while I was on 22.5 mg. HC

and my labs showed T3 way over the top so my Dr. had be reduce the Cytomel and

with each reduction I felt worse so now I'm going back up.

Does T3 over the range for labs indicate pooling or not necessarily? Should I

be relying more on temps and symptoms?

I think on that low dose of thyroid you can be certain it was pooling.
