Hazel, I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't telling lilac that my low temp was due to iodine defiency. LOL, I said I don't think it is anymore. I say this for several reasons, one is that my t3 to t4 conversion is working and giving me great results with BB AND I don't have any of the symptoms of hypothyroidism or any other signal that my thyroid is not working properly I really doubt that I have any type of thyroid problem at all.
There is more than just thyroid that can cause low body temperature. In fact, Adrenal Fatigue can cause even lower temps than the thyroid can. Circulation issues can cause lower temps also, which some of the girls on the forum have had good luck with using circulation type supplements to raise their temp, when the kelp and such never did.
I do like to point out that women have to take care when trying to figure out what their low temp is from. If someone begins taking large doses of kelp and does not have thyroid problems they sure can lead to them in the form of hypothyroidism, and autoimmune thyroiditis.
My temp varies from 96.3 to 97.8 and has been since I was a child. I also have always had a very speedy metabolism, that made me one of those women that could eat anything and not gain. That last part is finally changing a bit, but then I'm alot older now too. It was bound to slow down eventually, but I'm still thin, just not unhealthy thin now.[/quote][/color]
Lilac, as for your body temperature, this is from the bountiful breast site
(24) What should my body temperature be for Bountiful Breast® to work effectively?
In order for the Bountiful Breast® pills to work effectively your body temperature should be between 98.2 and 98.6.
When your temperature is below this parameter the liver does not manufacture enough of the enzymes that convert T3 to T4. The T3 and T4 hormones, regulate your metabolic processes and also affects the Thyro-Pituitary-Ovarian access, endocrine imbalances affect the ability of your body to do its own job. Your body is complex and fluctuation in temperature affects your body's hormonal levels. Bountiful Breast® is a patent pending formula which does contain some of the ingredients your body needs to manufacture the required enzymes
I know when I spoke to them a long time ago about body temp, they said that anything below 98.2 ran the risk of the pills not working,
your temperature will of course fluctuate throughout the month like Hazel said due to your cycle. At ovulation there is a progesterone increase which increases your temp slightly, but only around a half a degree or so. it will run .5 higher from about 1-2 days after you ovulate until your period begins at which time, the progesterone and estrogen drops to allow the bleeding to begin, which will cause your temp to drop also.
So when you factor in the .5 you may well be within the range that is recommended for at least half of your cycle. Personally, I would just give it a try and see what you end up with. Take the L-tyrosine and a small dose of kelp as BB instructs and see what happens.
