low temps

AmusedAmused
in Trying to Get Pregnant

I am just beginning to read TCOYF and I stumbled upon a small section that discussed low BBTs (below 97.0 pre-ovulation) and thyroid problems.  My temps have been anywhere from 96.3-96.8 (pre-ovulatory).  I didn't realize this could be a problem or that it was a very low temperature.  I will call the doctor if this trend continues, but does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this?  TIA!!  (I just tried to add a FF ticker so if it worked, my chart will be attached as well!)

    Can't see your chart (maybe hasn't updated in your siggy yet), but hypothyroid is very easy to diagnose via routine bloodwork for your TSH levels.  If you are ovulating, that's great because you probably then are not PCOS, but getting your TSH level under 2.0 will be very important for getting pg and maintaining a healthy pg'cy.

    Thanks.  I just read about the change in "normal TSH" levels so I'm glad to know that less than 2 is important. 

     Are temps this low common?  Does anyone know if this is associated with other problems?  I'm just wondering so I can be prepared to ask the right things when I'm at the doctor.

    Click on my chart. My temps were in the same range pre-O. I still O'ed this cycle and my bloodwork came back fine (no thyroid issues). Everyone is different! I wouldn't worry about it

    The last time I had bloodwork for my thyroid done, was 2 years ago--it was all normal. I do have low temps though, I'm usually in the 96-97 range pre-o. I usually ovulate, although I have had 2 anov. cycles since the summer.
