Okay since I now know this is the old thread I started, I am going to go ahead and get long winded and add some info to this thread that I've found over the last few months very valuable while trying to figure this all out.
There is more to Body temperature than the thyroid and I just wanted to post some of the basic information for other people trying to find information on why their body temp is low and how to fix it. The main thing you hear us talk back and forth about is the thyroid and taking kelp and L-tyrosine for it, but a lot of women are finding out that low body temperature means somethings wrong for the first time, when they decide to take Bovine Ovary. It's a lot of information to take in and I think sometimes some women just head down the road blindly taking whatever is suggested without really understanding why, or for that matter if that is really what's causing it and if they are taking what their body as an individual needs since we are are all different. I think first off you should go to the below link and take the the test to see which catagory you really fall under, if any.
Adrenal Fatigue /Thyroid Test Chart
After going over that chart with a fine tooth comb, you should read up the temperature graphing chart that he provides here to monitor your progress as you begin using supplements to try to correct the problem
Metabolic Temperature Charting
Once you have a better idea of which catagory your symptoms and your temperature fall under, then you can visit Adrenal Support Reccomendations to find out the supplements that will help get the adrenals functioning again, or you can continue with the Kelp and L-tyrosine treatments depending on which you lean toward, or for some go both routes, which he discusses doing in the FAQ
If you don't have any of the symptoms listed in the charts or not enough to think you might have a problem, then you can always look into a circulation problem, in which some women have had good success with cayenne. It falls under the thermogenic foods catagory, which you can learn a lot about by searching for information on thermogenic diets, which raises the body temp, to raise the metabolism, in order to loose weight, was already discussed further up in this thread.
Hope this helps some get their temp figured out way quicker than I was able to. LOL
