Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi , I could be COMPLETELY wrong about this but it was my understanding that the baby used T4 from the mother to make it's own T3. I seem to recall reading that somewhere when I was pregnant. Could you try weaning back onto Armour before getting pregnant? > > Hi > I have been on cytomel only for about three weeks now, worked up to > 125mcg.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have read the T3 not crossing the placenta story too BUT that was when they thought ther was ONLY one carrier for thyroid in the body TBG, They have since learned that T3 has it's OWN carrier to the brain and I bet as it crosses the blood brain barroer, it also crosses the placenta. Though if it were me I would feel better taking Armour while PG so I can;t say that I would stay on T3 only if I was wanting to get PG,. BUT you should not have to. Once RT3 is cleared out pof the receptors you should be able to go b ack on Armou and it should be able to work properly once the RT3 is cleared from the cell receptors. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 While we're on the topic of T3 in pregnancy, I was wondering about something. I had the same reverse T3 problem while pregnant but was on 4 1/2 grains of Armour. Do you think this would have effected my baby? Do you think she still got the thyroid hormone that she needed? I mean even if it wasn't getting into my cells, do you think she still could have gotten it while it was floating around in my bloodstream? She seems fine and my pregnancy went without a hitch but I can't help wondering if she'll have thyroid problems in the future or if it will effect her developmentally. > > I have read the T3 not crossing the placenta story too BUT that was when > they thought ther was ONLY one carrier for thyroid in the body TBG, They > have since learned that T3 has it's OWN carrier to the brain and I bet > as it crosses the blood brain barroer, it also crosses the placenta. > Though if it were me I would feel better taking Armour while PG so I > can;t say that I would stay on T3 only if I was wanting to get PG,.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I had an order to get the labs done when she was a newborn but they stuck her four times and still weren't able to get any blood. I decided it wasn't worth torturing her. She is five months now and seems to be thriving. I really hope she doesn't get Hashi's. That was my fear about having a girl. One person in the family is enough. It's hard enough getting proper treatment for me. Hopefully, since she's not vaccinated she'll never get it. Time will tell. > > If in doubt get her tested!
