10078473 tn?1409215186 It is normal for the body to fluctuate 3-5 pounds daily. I wouldn't be concerned about weight fluctuation. Also if you aren't weighing yourself at the same time every day then that will explain the fluctuation.
Avatar f tn With my first I lost almost 20lb before gaining anything, with this one I'm 17w 1d I weighed 147 when I found out at almost 10w I now weigh 143 as long as Dr isn't concerned don't stress over nothing bad for the baby congrats !
Avatar n tn Well I'm 15 but I don't have a weight fluctuation, my weight is constant until I grow sometimes which I might weigh more but it's balanced because I grew taller...I'm not like constantly gaining weight or losing it...So I don't really see the reason why I would have stretch marks.
Avatar f tn Hi. Cellulite can appear during puberty, times of growth or weight fluctuation and pregnancy. I have some on my thighs too and I'm actually underweight. I'm using a cream by Clarins and its really helped. Check out their products instores or online. Eloise.
Avatar f tn Thanks for using the forum. I recommend taking a home pregnancy test. They are most accurate1 week after the first day of your missed period. It is possible that your symptoms are a result of pregnancy. They could also be caused by a fluctuation in your hormone levels. These fluctuations can be related to stress, diet changes, weight changes, and are not uncommon. I hope this helps.
Avatar n tn How big of a fluctuation? Mine has been anywhere from 120/70-140/85. But considering my last pregnancy I was 160/105 at one point with no signs of preeclampsia and no adverse effects my midwife isn't worried about a mild fluctuation.
Avatar f tn i didnt even go to the doctors till i was 24w. weight fluctuation is normal as long as the babys healthy.
Avatar f tn Stress, illness, changes in routine, weight gain or loss or a hormonal fluctuation can all make us late. However, if you had unprotected sex, you will need to test.
Avatar f tn Women are late due to changes in routine, stress, illness, weight gain or loss or just a hormonal fluctuation. So, you are probably just late with some break through spotting. You can always follow up with your doctor to be sure. good luck and wowie, 5 kiddos! You are a busy mama!
791304 tn?1273617359 Ok I have the weirdest question for you pregnant women- well, first here is the situation- over a few weeks I was starting to gain weight (what I thought was fat) and everywhere on my body was growing- including my breasts to a full B where I almost needed a new bra (exciting for me because I am not even a full B when not pregnant).
Avatar f tn If you were my patient, I would advise you that it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of low blood sugar which many women have during pregnancy. A good suggestion that can help with symptoms is to keep a bit of something in your stomach all the time Many women have told me about Cheerios, or Goldfiish Crackers These symptoms do NOT mean that you have diabetes, but if my patients have a suspicious history or family history of diabletes, I might suggest a few blood sugar checks too.
Avatar n tn I am a student and my age is 21. I am having a problem of weight loss and sometimes weight fluctuation. I can't gain weight, So is there any list of best foods for weight gain or I need a doctor to handle?
Avatar f tn Hemoglobin decreases about 1 gm/dL during the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Altitude has a predictable effect with an increase of 1 gm/dL for each 3-4% decrease in arterial oxygen saturation. A heavy smoker may increase his/her hemoglobin level by 0.5 to 1.0 gm/dL. A low value that would be abnormal in one person might be appropriate for another.
Avatar f tn I just finished my forat trimester and ive packed on 8-10 pounds. I normally wouldnt be concerned with this but my doc said I needed to watchnky weight if I wanted to do vbac. I have so many excuses too ...
Avatar f tn The fluctuation in your weight is very likely be fluid buildup and is generally nothing to worry about so far as your weight is concerned; however, if there is excessive swelling in your feet and hands, etc, you should talk to your doctor about it as it could be a sign of other health issues.
746818 tn?1233944362 I have been doing pretty good on my weight (atleast I think so) I was down to 190 from 197 in about 3 weeks...well, I started my period yesterday and this morning I weighed 191. I know thats not much weight gain but I havent eaten anything real fattening and I have been working out and running/biking as usual. Just curious! :) Thanks!
Avatar n tn I would LOVE to blame weight gain on Copaxone but I know my fluctuation comes from bad eating habits and lack of exercise. It appears that about 3% of people using it did have that possible side effect. This disease works on us in so many ways, it is possible you are one of those 3%. But also take a look at your lifestyle habits and see if perhaps something there might contribute to the problem. I've been on copaxone since Oct. 2008.
Avatar f tn TSH that keeps going up is not fluctuation, but rather going more hypo. Fluctuation would be TSH level going up and down and down and up - back and forth like that. I wouldn't jump the gun too fast. That is to say, adjust your dose before giving the new dose it at least 6 weeks for its effects. You might not think a dose from 88 to a 100 is enough, but it very well can be speaking from experience. I was on a 100 which brought my TSH level out of Labs hyper range.
974535 tn?1248039312 This may be a transient fluctuation in thyroid levels - it may take 3-4 weeks for things to level out. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms.
Avatar f tn SIR I WANT TO ASK U WHY MY BODY SWELLS THOUGH I AM TAKING ELTOXIN PROPERLY AND MY WEIGHT INCREASES AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LOW MEMORY AND LOW ENTHUSIASM AND SIR MANY PROBLEMS.
Avatar f tn Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm just scared (understandably) but there has been no weight fluctuation yet, but though I have had no signs of pregnancy, I haven't had any signs of my period yet either... I'm just really confused.
Avatar f tn I have just finished my period today and weighed myself and i still have 1 pound more than my usual weight. How long after your period ends does it take for your weight to return to normal ?? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn For clarification Hypoglycemia is Type 1 Diabetes. This forum is for T2's, Hyperglycemia. "Could something other than dietary habits be causing this fluctuation in my blood sugar?" Issues with your thyroid misfiring. Get a TSH test. Losing weight even a few pounds have been shown to improve blood glucose levels. In the diabetes world being 25 lbs overweight is borderline obesity.
Avatar n tn Last Friday at work I had some spotting and a LOT of severe abdominal pain. This is my 6th pregnancy and I have one child. I am 17 weeks along and now I'm stuck on bed rest. I'm afraid of having yet another miscarriage, we have gone through them so many times that I don't know if I can handle that kind of emotional pain again. I have a lot of regular stress in my life, plus stress that nobody should have to deal with. I have had countless ultrasounds as well as check-ups.
Avatar n tn I'm in the same boat as you! I have no idea but it's freaking me out. I've never been late before and now I'm 12 days late. I've taken pregnancy tests too and they all were negative. When I spoke with my doctor, she said it might be stress, fluctuation of weight, and a number of other factors. I wasn't stressed out..... until now after 12 days with no period. Right now I just have to play the wait game.
Avatar f tn I searched online and the answers always seem to be that this could have happened BC of significant weight gain or pregnancy. Mine is not because of either of these. My weight is holding steady...at most in the past few months I may have gained a couple of pounds but my weight fluctuates but any fluctuation is always under 5 pounds. So no significant weight gain. I know with 100% certainty that I am not pregnant. (My bf and I broke up end of last year and haven't slept with anyone since).
