I've had hypothyroidism for three years. It is my belief that this is what resulted in having low test. Since then, I have tried many different approaches to getting my waking temperature to 98 degrees or above, and having a peak temp of 99 or more, while maintaining an average of 98.6 for the day. So far, the only way I've been able to do this is through using T3 and HC. HC is short term. HC has many dangers. I am now weaned off of HC.

What I have now been experimenting with is pregnenolone, with T3, and also T4 when it arrives. I tried NDT in the past but it is hard to dose because if you want more T4, you will wind up with more T3, which is NOT a good thing. Just take that experience from me.

What I have done in the past few weeks: taken transdermal pregnenolone with T3 5mcg four times a day, with 1 grain of NDT spread through the night. This has resulted in mornings temps from low to mid 97s, and peak temps at high 97s to low 98s. When the T4 arrives I will be switching to oral preg powder taking 100mg once a day in the morning, T3 four times throughout the day, and 100mcg of T4 before bed. I will also be upping my calories and food intake to raise metabolism with this approach. The goal is to have an optimal thyroid and metabolism, along with my already-optimal test from being on HCG.

This log is for those interested in metabolism/thyroid/adrenals, and those who are on TRT or other HRT and who just aren't feeling the full effects of it, most likely due to a damaged metabolism. I will begin updating once the T4 and oral preg arrive.
