What is considered too low a range for basal cell temperature? Is it always a sign of hypothyroidism?
I’ve been doing bbt tracking, and I’ve noticed that my highest basal cell temperature in the morning was 36.8F. It’s most often between 36.1-36.5.
I believe I’ve had a thyroid test, and it was normal. I first realised my body temperature might too low when I was using a fertility chart and had to change the range since my waking temperature has never even reached 37 degrees C. I sleep pretty normally, and usually wake up naturally around the same time every day.
The thing is, I don’t tend to feel cold, and although I weigh more than I did when I was younger and can’t seem to lose it, I’m still pretty slim. I do have some symptoms that appear to be consistent with hypothyroidism, but some are not. For example, I don’t have any throat problems and I rarely ever feel cold even with a low body temperature.
Is it within a normal range, or are can it be a symptom of something besides thyroid disorders?
You can be hypothyroidic (sp?) for years before it manifests itself. My best advice is to have your doctor do thyroid testing of the blood to make sureyour levels are all right. The number should be near 5. When my hypothroidism was diagnosed, I was having headaches and insomnia. It may be that your levels are fluctuating, or that it is off. If there is a history of it in your family, you have probably some sort of thyroid disorder which can be easily helped by a small dose of medicine. You should definitely see your doctor. As far as basal cell tempuratures being, I am not sure what you mean, the problem will be shown for thyroid in the blood. Good luck.
