The BBT charting software I'm using seems to think I ovulated a little over a week ago (somewhere in the 40's as far as cycle days go). I happen to think it's incorrect, or that it's one hell of a piss-poor ovulation. Let's say it is correct. I'm still not ovulating until well into anywhere from cycle day 20 something up to cycle day 40 something... if at all.
What. The. Hell. is WRONG WITH ME?**
I'm just gearing up for my endo visit soon and thinking about how doctor after doctor (minus the TCM practitioner who thought I was a mess) says over and over again that I'm just the picture of health and should have a baby in no time. They are all so puzzled by my apparent rosy cheeked splendor in the face of all that is wrong with my reproductive system. All I can figure is that my "normal" blood level ranges are much smaller than others' for a healthy system. For example, my TSH levels had to get down to 1.33 before I felt more like a "normal" person. Get them up anywhere around 3-5, and I am not a happy camper. Maybe it's the same with other ranges? So just for shits and giggles, (I sure am swearing a lot in this one!) I decided to let you know some of my ranges. Peruse them oh wise Dr. Googlers and armchair diagnostic fiends. If you have any crazy ideas, throw 'em my way. Then I can ask the endo when I get in there what she thinks. I certainly don't know what to think anymore. I'm tired.
(I'm only including those that either I think could have something to do with it or that I have no idea if it does have anything to do with it.)

**Obviously I'm aware that I have (possibly) PCOS and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. What I'd like to know is why my reproductive system is still crap when all signs point to the idea that I should at least be ovulating better since the Hashi's is under control and the PCOS is apparently "mild."
