Can Basal Body Temperature Diagnose A Thyroid Condition?

Question:

 

My doctor is using my Basal Body temperature as a guide to determine if

I've met my optimum thyroid medication level. I take my temperature under my

arm first thing upon waking for 3 days in a row and write it down. I have

read recently that this is much more accurate than the blood tests (target

range being 97.8 to 98.2), so why don't other doctors use this method? I had

never heard of using he basal temperature until I went to this doctor.

 

As a side note to you, my basal temperature for the 3 days ranged from

95.8 to 96.8, though my TSH level at my last doctor was in the normal range

(that doctor has been " fired " by me). Since that TSH test my thyroid meds

have been increased by my new doctor, and my BBT is still low.

 

I would like to hear another doctor's opinion on the BBT method of

testing...
