Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Last week, we (you and I) decided that it was time to increase the Armour slightly. I was at 3.25 grains/25 mg HC with very stable temps, averaging 98.3. There were a few lingering symptoms (water retention, constipation) -- and the Armour dose was held for 4 weeks. I increased a week ago Sat (about 10 days now) by another .25 grain to a total of 3.5 grains a day. At this time, I was on days 14-28 of my oral progesterone (BHRT at 200mg a night). Got my period on Saturday morning (finished my cycle of progesterone Friday evening). Since Saturday, my temps have plummeted (both basal and daily) and the scale has jumped up 3.5 lbs. Plus temps don't seem to be too stable either. The past few morning basals have been 97.7-97.8 (previously were 98.0) and overall daily temps dropped to 98.0/98.1. This did not happen immediately following the raise, but a week later (again after progesterone was stopped). I have never had to 'stress dose' for an Armour increase; is this showing I need to stress dose? Do you think it is all menstral related? My period is almost done already - barely a spotting today. I am a bit confused. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
