Re: Could this be the beggining of a breackthrough?/FIRST LABS

[Guest guest]

So here are the first labs after the temperature rise which happened 13 days

ago. Temps went up to 36.8/36.9 (98.2/98.4) from my usual post-ovulation temps

of 36.6/36.7 (97.8/98.0). My temps dropped 3 days ago (after I got the period)

and are now 36.4/36.5 (97.5/97.7), which is only slightly higher than my usual

pre-ovulation temps 36.3/36.4 (97.3/97.5).

I do not feel particularly well, very, very tired, blurry vision and light

headed, but let's see:

Red blood cell (RBC) count: 4.31 (4.5-5.5)

Hemoglobin: 13.0 g/dl (13-16)

Hematocrit: 38.7 (38-52)

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV): 90.00 (75-99)

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH): 30.1 (27-34)

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC): 33.5 (30-37)

Red cell distribution width (RDW): 10.3 (13.3-17)

Red blood cell count is a bit low, it always is with me and I though after

several months supplementing iron it would be better, but maybe it is a lower

because I just had the period (although I do not bleed too much).

Fasting glucose: 93 mg/dl (65-110)

Sodium: 18.0 mEq/L (135-145)

Potasium 3.96 mEq/L (3.5-5)

Chloride 100.0 mEq/L (95-105)

Magnesium 1.9 mg/dl (1.6-2.6)

Ferritin: 121.7 ng/ml (12-200)

THYROID:

TSH: less than 0.005 uU/ml (0.5-5)

Free T4: 0.21 ng/dl (0.8-2.2)

Total T3: 5.45 ng/ml (0.8-1.8)

Free T3 : 10.37 pg/ml (1.8-4.2)

Nick, many thanks for your answer.

Yes, I did stop the iron 5 days before the test.

I don't feel hyper, except for the pulse which is high (100 or more). I actually

feel rather hypo (tired, dry eyes).

I took T3 the night before the blood draw, but not in the morning. However my

last dose was not 12 hours before the the blood draw, rather only 7-8 hours

before, because I went to bed quite late.

I don't understand what has happened, because temps were high for ten days or

so, but now are back to my usual.

Regarding cortisol, I don't know, I truly don't know. I find it so hard to

judge... I have gone down a little since my temps went high because I was

feeling better, more relaxed, but now I am feeling worse again.

I was so happy temps went high and I am so worried now.

I don't think I had an infection, I didn't feel ill. Also the temperature rise

happened few days before the 12 week on T3. It is a bit confusing now because

the temperatute drop has coincided with the period (which is normal), but I

hoped the temperature would remain relatively high... it hasn't though. I am so

sacared this means failure with the T3 protocol...

Regarding high pulse, I haven't tried the salt. I will.
