Lately my hands & feet have been very cold (while inside). My temperature has been ranging between 46.2 & 47.7 (normal is 48.6 right?) My appetite has been very poor, and today I haven't had anything to eat. I have food, but I just don't have and appetite. Sometimes I don't get to sleep until arount 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. The next day I feel like I slept all night. I don't fee sick, but that temperature puzzles me.

Are you male or female? Answer makes a big difference my friend. We can't diagnose but can give you a pretty good idea.

Perhaps you are anemic? Those were my symptoms a year ago when I was hospitalized for severe anemia. Please make an appointment with your doctor.
Here's another thought --
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism (An underactive thyroid)
Fatigue, exhaustion
Feeling run down and sluggish
Depression
Difficulty concentrating, brain fog
Unexplained or excessive weight gain
Dry, coarse and/or itchy skin
Dry, coarse and/or thinning hair
Feeling cold, especially in the extremities
Constipation
Muscle cramps
Increased menstrual flow
More frequent periods
Infertility/miscarriage
Please get this checked!

In November I was informed that my blood count was too low. My doctor prescribed iron pills for me to take three times a day. I've been taking them as instructed. In January and this month, my periods have been extremely heavy. I've already gone through half a box of tampons in one day, and had to use pads with it. My periods were never this heavy prior to taking the iron pills. I thought the purpose of taking the iron pills was to help build up my blood count, but I seem to be losing more than I normally do during my periods. Should I stop taking the iron pills during my period?

I have a 28 day regular cycle. I usually ovulate the 14th day. A few days before I notice mucus discharge. On the day of ovulation I have an egg-white mucus discharge. This is normal for me. I had sex the day before ovulation. The day of ovulation, I didn't have the egg-white mucus discharge I usually would get. I'm wonder if I conceived or is it too early to tell?
