She said this could be normal fluctuation, but just incase would rather increase the dose since I was on a relatively low dose.

Aslo take Synthroid .075mg dailly. This is because my thyroid was enlarged last year and probably the beginning of hypothyroid. TSH was only around 3 but since the gland was enlarged it needed to be treated with the synthroid. >>

>> >- Success Factors: hormones were regulated within the first 3 months of taking 1000 mg of glucophage. I feel great, have absolutely no side effects. Regular periods, losing weight. I am estatic. There aren't even words to describe how I feel. HAven't seen much success with the hair though. I am really only effected by 5 or 6 under my chin but I do have then on my chest which i pluck regularly. My doctor thinks they will go away and said it can take a really really long time. Has anyone's gone away?>>
