If you wanted to know why T is low you would do LH/FSH
fT3 is important
E2 is important and finding a doc who will manage E2 levels is important

You can eval your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures:

  • when you first wake up, 97.7 - 97.8 is good, higher is OK, 97.3 is a problem
  • also check for 98.6 mid-afternoon
