I would try an increase tomorrow but try to do it split in the day and only

add 2.5 mg to start.

5 mg morning

5 mg noon

2.5 mg early evening

Then I would wait 2-3 days and add another 2.5 mg bedtime. However, I think

overall you will need to raise your morning dose especially...first to 7.5

or even higher but slowly following the ramp up schedule in the files. Your

morning temps are really low and I don't remember your labs but most of us

dose our highest in the morning. So after getting to 5,5,2.5,2.5 I would

then try 7.5, 5,2.5,2.5.

It is hard to know exactly what it is. All I can say is until I found my

good dose of HC, I had the same issues you do and more. I started in

October, slowly ramped up and it was not until January with HC cream that I

really got where I need to be and it took me 35 mg. Now I have been able to

wean down to 30 mg without problems. My temps on waking are 98.4 to 98.6 and

averaging 98.5 day to day.

I know it is frustrating, but it takes time. October, November and December

were all about ramping up for me. January has been good and pretty stable

compared to the prior months. Only crash was my period and T3 added which I

am now stress dosing for.
