[QUOTE="PhantomFear, post: 179828, member: 38928"] What do her thyroid labs look like? Progesterone, Cortisol, Estradiol, Estrone Sulfate and Cholesterol would be helpful, too. I guarantee she has a thyroid issue, as is the case in all women with PCOS. This often goes unnoticed because the problem isn't always with the absolute amount of thyroid hormone in the blood per se; rather, it's the inability of the tissue to utilize it, which can be caused by a cohort of factors. This is especially true if the doctor is only checking the TSH. The best way to check thyroid function is to have her take her underarm temperature. Take it first thing in the morning before getting out of bed, then take it about an hour after breakfast. It should be ~36.5c upon waking, rising to 37c by mid-afternoon. I'd be willing to bet a lot of money she is in the 35's, providing you're not in an extremely hot climate where temp issues can be somewhat masked. [/QUOTE]
