Re: pregnancy, thyroid, adrenal question

First CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I just hunted a quick search and found this

info abotu cortiosl levels during pregnancy:

>>Salivary cortisol profiles exhibited a clear circadian rhythm during

pregnancy with an increase in mean salivary cortisol from the 25th to

28th week onwards reaching concentrations in late pregnancy more than

twice as high as in non-pregnant controls, rapidly returning to normal

concentrations after delivery.<<

SO I would say you may need a tad more now as you wil need abotu double

by the end!

Wow, that was an interesting link. THANKS! Wow, double? That's

incredible. I've been so worried about taking too much. Okay, I'll

increase a little. What do you think? 5 mg at a time? I should have

also told you that my daytime temps were quite stable until just this

week, now they're starting to fall again.

Reminds me... does anyone know if a pregnant average temp is still

98.6, or is it higher in pregnancy because of the increased

progesterone. Mine were very stable, and averaging 98.2 (until just

recently), but I'm wondering if even that was too low.

Thanks!

>>Prior to ovulation, a woman's basal body temperatures generally range

from 97.0 to 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures are suppressed at

this time due to the presence of the hormone estrogen. After ovulation,

due to the production of the heat-inducing hormone progesterone

<http://www.webindia123.com/health/women/pregnancy/method/bbt.htm#>,

temperatures rise to about 97.6 to 98.6 F. This rise in temperature

indicates that ovulation has occurred. Your most fertile day is the one

immediately before the rise in temperature. This method can be best

utilized along with other fertility signs such as a pain or ache felt on

one side of the lower abdomen, to be accurate. When a woman is pregnant

<http://www.webindia123.com/health/women/pregnancy/method/bbt.htm#>, her

temperature remains elevated throughout pregnancy

<http://www.webindia123.com/health/women/pregnancy/method/bbt.htm#>.

This test can also be used to know whether a woman is ovulating or not.

If ovulation does not occur the normal temperature remains static always.<<

Anne,

Congrats to you! I hope you can keep posting how you're doing through your

pregnancy and after you give birth. I wanted more kids, but since finding out

about my hypo and adrenals postpartum I was afraid I was finished having my

family b/c I felt so bad. You give me hope that I can do it again while being on

meds for adrenals and thyroid!!

At the time I didn't know what was going on, but since finding out my adrenals

were trashed I found that third trimester my son was helping my body with his

adrenals and I felt better than I have in many years....only to fall flat on my

face after he was born. I'm sure both my poor kiddos were born with worn out

adrenals
