I've been reading about hormones and pregnancy, and I came across estrogen. I'm curious if estrogen levels are naturally high during pregnancy and what role it plays.
Yes, estrogen and progesterone both shoot up, which can sometimes affect your insulin levels too. That's why we have to be so careful with our diet and sugar tests. It's a normal hormonal change though!
I have been reading up a lot since we are trying, and yes, estrogen levels do go up quite a bit. It helps the baby grow and supports the pregnancy. Hope we both get our good news soon!
I felt so emotional and had crazy mood swings, and my doctor told me it's because estrogen is super high during these months. It's amazing how our bodies change to protect the little life inside.
Yes, estrogen goes up naturally to support the baby's development. Honestly, don't waste time googling hormone levels too much. Just get your routine blood tests done on time as prescribed by your gynac.
Oh yes, estrogen is sky-high, which is why we get that glowing hair but also crazy mood swings! With twins, I felt like my hormones were on double speed. Totally normal part of the journey.
