Was reading my old reports and got curious about these hormones. Do they change once u become pregnant? Just trying to understand the science behind it.
I usually just read, but yes, both hormones drop completely because progesterone is high. Don't worry about these lab values unless your doctor points them out.
During my IVF journey, I became so familiar with these hormone names. Once you conceive, your body naturally suppresses FSH and LH so it can focus entirely on nourishing the little life growing inside. Sending you so much warmth and gentle hugs.
By God's beautiful design, both FSH and LH levels drop to almost zero during pregnancy because your body doesn't need to produce new eggs. Just stay positive, trust the natural process, and take good care of your beautiful soul.
I am currently planning and reading up on hormone charts! From what I understand, they drop very low during pregnancy because other hormones like progesterone take over. It's so fascinating how our bodies change, isn't it?
Because of my gestational diabetes, I had to keep a close eye on all my hormone levels and diet. Yes, FSH and LH decrease significantly during pregnancy to stop ovulation. Focus on eating a low-sugar, high-protein diet to keep your overall hormone levels stable and healthy.
They go extremely low, almost undetectable. Once you are pregnant, estrogen and progesterone rise, which signals the brain to stop releasing FSH and LH so you don't ovulate again. It's basic biology, nothing to worry about.
