Hi could you do the same video like this but for low estrogen? Symptoms, treatment, etc? I’ve started charting and suspect I have low estrogen. Thanks 🙏 ❤
@emibenitez1098 Yes! I have transitioned to a podcast, but I can certainly do a podcast episode on that. Be on the lookout - Truth and Fertility Podcast :)
Thank you so explaining this so well and clearly. I’m suspicious that I have low progesterone, but I need to confirm it with tests. What kind of testing other than blood test can I request from my midwife’s office?
Good question! The only test that I know that would confirm low progesterone is a blood test since it needs to be an exact measurement of the hormone. That would be a good question for your midwife to see if there are any other options. One thing to note is that many docs will test for progesterone around day 22 of the cycle, but that is assuming you have regular cycles (26-30ish days). If you have longer cycles, you may not have ovulated yet by day 22 which means progesterone wouldn’t be high yet. So it’s helpful to chart your cycle to know when ovulation happens so you get blood work done at the correct time (post ovulation). If you’re at all interested in charting, feel free to check out the links in the description of this video or shoot me an email (link in bio) and I would be happy to help you further!
My husband and I have been TTC for 3 1/2 years. I'm 31, he's 32. I've had HSG's, bloodwork several times, ultrasounds, everything looks normal. My husband also got his semen analysis and everything seemed normal. I've had 2 HSGs he's had 2 semen analysis's. The only thing that doesn't seem normal to me is that my temp runs high during my follicular phase. I still get my temp rise during my luteal phase but I've addressed my high temps to my Dr's in the past and they don't really seem to have an answer. I've tried chiropractors, acupuncture and mercier therapy as well and really feel like I'm running out of options. We have also made diet changes to stay away from sugars and highly inflammatory foods and oils. Do you ever see woman with high temps during their follicular phase and what is usually advised to them if so? Thank you
@VeronicaMarce thanks so much for your comment and I am so sorry for your struggles with getting pregnant. It seems like you’ve been doing all the right things but just getting no answer. My next suggestion to you would be to seek out a NaProTechnology medical consultant (find one here: fertilitycare.org). I’ve briefly talked about NaPro but it stands for Natural Procreative Technology and it is a type of woman’s health science that looks for the underlying causes of not being able to conceive and uses medical and surgical approaches to heal the woman’s reproductive system. You can find a medical consultant near you and they would start by having you chart your cycles with the Creighton method of charting. From there, they would do whatever tests seem fitting and go from there. This is how I was able to conceive my kiddos, as I also struggled with reproductive issues. As for the high temps in the follicular phase, this would be your baseline temperature, and some women’s temps are just higher than others. As long as you are still having that temp rise after ovulation, you are still seeing a “biphasic temperature”. My next question to you would be what is the range of your temps in the follicular phase vs the luteal phase? Thanks again for your comment and feel free to email me (link in bio) with any further questions!!
@TruthandFertility I usually fall between 97.5 and 97.9 and even 98. I read online that if your temp runs higher in the follicular phase it could "over mature your egg" in a sense. I've also had my thyroid tested and all came out fine. I looked for what you suggested and the only one near me seems to offer iui and ivf. But my husband and I did not want to go that route
@VeronicaMarce Ooo ok let me make sure I linked the correct website because NaPro technology does not do IUI or IVF. I also wouldn’t suggest that route either. I haven’t heard of a high temp pointing towards “over mature eggs”, although that’s not to say it’s not true. A more accurate way to determine if that’s what is happening is to get an ultrasound series test around the time of ovulation to make sure the egg is being released as it should be. I’ll check up on that link right now
@VeronicaMarce fertilitycare.org is the correct link. (Make sure you put .org and not .com)If you put in your ZIP code, any of the places you will find should not offer IUI or IVF. You’re also welcome to send me an email of the place you’re looking at and I can help you navigate it.
I am currently breastfeeding, 8 months pp, and I have been having pms symptoms for about a month. Cramping, bloating, cravings, irritability, and fatigue. Is it typical to have these symptoms while breastfeeding, because prolactin is suppressing ovulation? I have not had a period yet since my baby was born
@lydiajohnson2156 great question! It could be that your period may be coming soon. But I would definitely check in with your doctor to possibly get some blood work to see what may be causing those symptoms. Especially since they’ve been happening for a month now. I highly recommend checking out fertilitycare.org to find a doctor near you that specializes in women’s health care with fertility awareness methods of charting the cycle. You’re welcome to email me at truthandfertility@gmail.com with any more questions!
