Temps Refuse To Come Up - New Labwork?

June 1, 2010

I can't seem to get my temps up for anything. Last month's average for the

second half of my cycle was between 98.3 and 98.4. So I thought perhaps I was on

too much HC and started weaning. I've gone from 27.5mg to 22.5mg over the past 3

weeks and feel fine...but now I think my temps are even lower (I'm not sure

whether or not I ovulated this cycle). So I was thinking of ordering some new

lab work to see where I stand. On the list so far are TSH, Free T3, and B12. I

just tested iron a month ago and it was fine, so it's too early to retest that

yet. Can you think of any other tests I should run that might clue me in as to

why my temps won't come up? I'm currently on 68.75mcg Cynomel and my last

thyroid labs on 75mcg were as follows:

02.22.10 TSH - <0.006 L (range 0.450 - 4.500)

02.22.10 T3, Free - 6.0 H (range 2.0 - 4.4)

02.22.10 T4, Free - 0.07 L (range 0.82 - 1.77)

I can't seem to raise Cynomel because it increases my heart rate too high. Plus,

the last time I was on 75mcg my acne got worse.

Any advice would be appreciated!
