I htink you should try 30mg HC for a couple days and see if your temps

come up, if not, thne go back to 25 for a few days and then LOWER

further. This is called try and see which works best, and it may be thta

you are gettign to a point in adrnel healing where oyu eed less

cortisoll, but I suspect you simply need a tad mroe.

Hmm... okay. While you are suspecting that I may need more HC, your

wanting to see if I need less: you think perhaps that may be the case

(ie., possibly needing less HC)?

Currently dosing at 10-7.5-5-2.5 (25) -- going to 30, should I dose:

10-10-5-5?

As always thanks. I must admit, I was a little bummed out because I

felt I was getting sooooo close.

Your temps are supposed to drop when your period starts. Page down

to see chart.

http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio105/sexual.htm

Temps drop at ovulation, then rise to keep the egg warm, then drop

again when your period starts. Days 2 and 3 of your period are when

you can get the most accurate basal reading.

Thanks, Barbara. It was my understanding that indeed basal temps do

drop at ovulation -- and then again as the period does begin.

What was confusing to me was that I am on day 4 of my period (which I

have to say is barely a period with very light -- almost non-existent

spotting) -- but it is not just the basals that have dropped.

Daily temps have dropped significantly.

Thanks for the link.

Val - did the increase from 20mg of Cortef to now, over the few months

since the fall, cause the RT3?

Okay -- looking over some old labs.

On 12/22/07 blood draw (3 grains of Armour, 20g HC):

FT4 1.43 (.61-1.76)

FT3 3.7 (2.3-4.2)

RT3 was ordered but NOT done. Went back a month later -- same doses

of Armour and HC was at 25mg..... doctor asked for all thyroid labs

AND RT3 again -- but this time, lab did ONLY RT3 -- so I have no

FT4/FT3 to compare to except the above.

01/16/08:

RT3: 261 (90-350)

What is your assessment, please?
