I remember Aurelia was a huge fan of this, not sure if you ever 'knew' her on line. She doesn't blog any more but you can find her on twitter.Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125639207843989848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-42849101502247722852011-09-15T12:28:58.147-07:002011-09-15T12:28:58.147-07:00Over here in the UK they just don't test your ...Over here in the UK they just don't test your progesterone. My clinic indulged me in letting me go on with mine a bit longer than usual and then taper off but not once were my levels checked. They upped my thyroxine during the pregnancy and checked my T4 and TSH levels at fairly regular intervals. I too had a fast resting heart rate - never went below 90 after the first trimester and that was even while I was on beta blockers - like Anonymous, by ob/gyn said this is normal during pregnancy (partly to do with the much-increased blood volume) and mine went back down again nicely after the birth but stayed pretty high throughout the pregnancy and seemed to be totally unrelated to the thyroxine. You're like me, in that you've got a fairly complicated set of issues and it's really hard not to worry - please, at least, don't give yourself a hard time about the worrying ;-)!Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524066274559867949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-47458880981246299602011-09-15T06:52:56.286-07:002011-09-15T06:52:56.286-07:00I'm a lurker who has been reading and cheering...I'm a lurker who has been reading and cheering you on for a long time. I just wanted to jump in to say that my heart would frequently race while I was at rest during my pregnancy. Sometimes, I thought I was having a heart attack, and other times I could actually see my chest pounding. My ob/gyn said it's normal during pregnancy. It started late in the first trimester and tapered off mid 2nd trimester.<br /><br />I am thinking of you and rooting for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-31020513847783271082011-09-15T04:37:00.719-07:002011-09-15T04:37:00.719-07:00sorry...I wrote a book.sorry...I wrote a book.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323373273366929886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-44419231556215655092011-09-15T04:36:40.921-07:002011-09-15T04:36:40.921-07:00My P4 was at 19 when I stopped it entirely this ti...My P4 was at 19 when I stopped it entirely this time. I think it was close to that last time too...maybe 20? I never looked up what was normal but my nurse said it was fine and that the placenta produces other forms of progesterone to hold the pregnancy but they only measure P4 (not p2,or whatever the other is), so, I just went with it. There are major concerns with keeping you on P4 after the first tri b/c it can interfere with sex organ developement etc...or so they say. I was too worried and thought I'd go with the 19 and everything was fine. Of course, that is easy for me to say now...since things already turned out fine both times. I'm just saying that 19 is not unusual at all. I think I went down to 19, they kept me there, and it went back up to 21 and they fully weaned me, not even checking after that. I was the opposite, with my last miscarriage before I had DD, my E2 plummeted during weaning and I knew it was a sign that I lost the baby even though the doctors all told me it was fine...I went a few days later to my 10 week u/s and the baby had already passed away...so I had a tendency to obsess about the E2 and let them deal with the P4. <br /><br />About the TSH- I usually have to increase my dose at the end of the first tri b/c the hormones being produced by the placenta (E2 specifically, I think) interferes with the production of TSH. So, I go up during the pregnancy both times...and then after some time after delivery, they try to bring it back down to what I was prior. So, I'm guessing you are doing great...and all those hormones your placenta is actually producing is messing with your meds...except you don't have a thryoid anymore...so maybe it just interferes with the absorption of synthroid and not production of TSH? I have no idea...but it seems normal. <br /><br />I think you are doing great. Hang in there. I am so glad you are enjoying it b/c honestly, I think this is going to be a wonderful time...and in about 6 months, you are going to be downright blissful.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323373273366929886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-21930950713576792492011-09-14T22:13:26.754-07:002011-09-14T22:13:26.754-07:00I will never stop wondering if my last pregnancy f...I will never stop wondering if my last pregnancy failed - normal baby according to chromosomal typing - because i wasn't on progesterone. I see no reason whatsoever to stop it if your levels aren't where you feel comfortable, and if your peri won't go with that, i'd find someone else. Hopefully she will be on board though!<br /><br />I'm supposed to stop mine next Weds; I am definitely planning on getting my progesterone checked when I go on Monday before I do. You have worked so hard and waited so long for this pregnancy that you need to do whatever it takes and whatever YOU feel best to keep it.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391676406311335476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059464.post-26787238487729308332011-09-14T20:20:04.657-07:002011-09-14T20:20:04.657-07:00You DO have a lot to discuss, but I know you will ...You DO have a lot to discuss, but I know you will stand your ground. You have worked so hard for this. If the supplemental progesterone doesn't hurt, why not? <br /><br />I don't know a ton about thyroid other than my thyroid nodule that I'm told is fine even though I suspect I have hyperthyroid symptoms at times. I just know it can be very tricky and many times the patient knows more about what's really going on than the doctor does. Sometimes you have to go with your gut, right! Try to hang in there!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957887707439694944noreply@blogger.com
