Heidi recently wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer, and here is her question, "I had healthy baby boy end, no issues during pregnancy. He passed away two days after birth (birth asphyxia, umbilical cord around neck, too long labor, infection, placental abruption and C-section was done too late). I got pregnant naturally after TTC 10 months. I have also 19 year old son. I have regular cycle 28days, I'm healthy, no PCOS, miscarriages or other issues. I'm using prenatal vitamins, omega3, coQ10, Maca and Vitex, d-vitamin, iron, folic acid.
Physically I've been healing from surgery really good, mentally it's been hard. I want to test my estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH and iron levels but is it too early to test these because I was just pregnant? How fast hormone levels are getting back to normal after labor? My period came back 4 weeks after labor, they are normal and I ovulated already once."
Take a listen and hear Dr. Aimee's thoughts on when you should have your hormone levels taken after labor, along with answers to other questions.
