need adrenal help while breastfeeding

[Guest guest]

Can anyone let me know if you can take cortrex while breastfeeding? I

am currently on Armour and have Cortrex but not sure if I can take it.

My doc rx'ed it before I found out I was pregnant, so I couldn't take

it while pregnant they said. Now I've given birth but his office has

a waiting list and I can't get in again until April. I'm sure they

will probably say I can't take it just to cover their butt but I'm not

sure if I really can or not and I can't find any literature on it with

breastfeeding sources.

Does anyone know if corisol help is OK while breastfeeding?

Honestly I do ot knwo but I feel pretty certain that in physiological

doses (those your own body would be making) that it is very safe not

only in breastfeeding but in pregnancy as well. In Safe Uses of

Cortisol, there are numerous experiences recounted where the women were

on cortisl during preganncy and not only did fine but actually had

successful pregnancies where they miscarried without the cortisl in the

past. Hydrocortisone is a BIOIDENTICAL hormone the same as whet your pwn

body would make. Whenused ot replace what your body is missing, it ias

not harmful in any way.

I am pretty new here so I don't want to step on any toes but my

OB/GYN said to definitely get off the HC if I am trying to get

pregnant or as soon as I find out that I am. He is a high-risk

(conventional medicine) OB and maybe that is why, I don't know but

just wanted to throw that out there.

I took prednisone while pregnant with my first and while breastfeeding. I

don't think taking it hurt anything. I am suspicious now that it caused

adreanl insufficiency problems for us both because I was taking a low dose.

I believe it was high enough to surpress my adrenals, but not high enough to

meet my bodies needs. I do know that our pediatrician siad it wasn't a

problem for me to take while nursing, but you could always call your

pediatrician's office to be sure.

Did he also tell you that if you are in adrenal fatigue with low

cortisol as soon as the baby's adrenals start producing cortisol your

body will steal it and use it? Thus your potential baby could be born

with adrenal problems from the get-go?

some of us here feel that in hindsight that is what happened to our

child or children, and I believe it happened to my son. And if I could

have known and been tested then, and taken HC during my pregnancy, he

would have been spared a lot of problems he has had to deal with.

Rie,

Thank you - I so appreciate your thoughts. I am not trying to get

pregnant since my doctor was so firm about the HC. But I do have an

appt with a natural doctor in a few weeks and will go over the saliva

test results so I hope to find out where my cortisol levels are.

Tina,

Please be careful with this if you decide to get pregnant. I don't know what

your cortisol levels are, but if you have adrenal fatigue problems it can be

dangerous for the baby. There is a video on youtube about this issue,b ut

for some reason I can't find it now. Grr... Anyway, what happens is if your

body doesn't produce enough coritsol it will take it from the baby as soon

as it starts producing it. This leaves the baby with adrenal insufficiency.

some of the symptoms of this are colic, trouble sleeping, and so on. I

strongly feel that my oldest was affected by this becasue I was on

prednisone, but it wasn't enough to meet our needs. I'm in the process of

trying to find a doctor to test her right now. It's complicated becasue my

insurance requires referrals. Many doctors feel that hydrocortisone is

dangerous and just don't believe in adreanl fatigue, so if you decide to get

preganat be sure to find a doctor that knows what they are doing in this

regard. :-)

Looking back, I spent two pregnancies in severe adrenal fatigue. I

thought it was severe morning sickness, but the fatigue...oh my!

Dragging myself around like I did not only caused problems for my child

(who subsequently passed away) but long-term adrenal problems for me

that I can't quite shake. I almost get there, and then regress.

No one knew what was wrong with me, just said to rest, and " of course

you're tired, you're pregnant. " I thought that normal pregnancies

couldn't possibly be this bad, but that I must be a wimp.

I think it's so wise for you to hold off getting pregnant until you

feel better, and have stable adrenals.

My three bio children were very very challenging infants, quite ill,

terribly colicky. They are now hypo because I didn't know enough to get

better at that time (your labs are " normal " ) and didn't have a clue

about adrenal fatigue. And it's no picnic to talk a doc into giving

your kids armour (I haven't accomplished it yet)

And now, three years after the last pregnancy, I'm still struggling

with my health.

I wouldn't give up my children for the world, of course, but oh how I

wis I would've know about STTM, adrenal fatigue, and hypo-T (and been

treated accordingly) so that I could have been healthy when pregnant.I

have been living such a limited existence for so many years.

OK, on that downer note....

I am glad that I am getting better now, and am eternally thankful for

people like Val and others who are dedicated to educating other people

about these diseases.
