Hypothyroid- TSH Levels High// Very Low Temps

I have been tracking my BBT since September, my 'normal' temp is 96.1 but has gone as high as 96.9 & as low as 95.5... I am currently on 1 1/2 grain of Amour, I feel a lot better on it than I ever did (for the past 7 years on Synthroid)... My TSH levels are high, 9/27 blood work was 13.280 & 10/27 10.130 ... Obviously I am going in the right direction for the TSH, but shouldn't my temps be going up too?

I know it isnt used to adjust my thyroid medication but shouldn't I be seeing a rise in temperature? I used to be very hot natured and now I feel like Im freezing all the time. I would have expected to see at least a slight raise in temperature by now.

Goal TSH is 0.5-2.5, BBT is not specific for thyroid and should not be used to adjust thyroid meds.
