I had a chance to talk with Dr. Flechas regarding an Iodine loading test I took about two months ago. I read a lot of posts about Iodine and pregnancy here and there appeared to be some confusion on how much etc. Just wanted to share what Dr. Flechas told me about Iodine and pregnancy. First, he stated that I should take at least 50 mg of iodine for six months prior and then I could redo the loading test to check for bromine levels and iodine sufficiency. He then reccomends 12.5 mg of iodine during pregnancy and 50 mg of iodine while breastfeeding. I know it's old now but I wonder if the transient hypo Warthog saw in her baby was due to maintaining one to two drops per day through pregnancy and breastfeeding rather than increasing after birth? I plan on talking to Dr. Flechas again after another loading test in 3 or 4 months to ask him why such a big increase after birth. I will share what I find out. Diane

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,574,814if we have learned one thing here it is that there is no one-size-fits-all Iodine dose. if there is, its 100mg.
if anything, one should decrease Iodine during breastfeeding to keep the detox down so the toxins dont end up in the milk. - Re: Flechas and pregnancy prairiechyld

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,574,814I am looking forward to hearing about this. I am pregnant and will likely breastfeed for a few years. I would love to take 50 mg while breastfeeding but didn't know if it was OK. I am definitely missing my high dose iodine.

This is a reply to # 1,575,765I was thinking about the detox too with going from 12.5 mg to 50 mg. Maybe he thinks if you have done 50 mg for six months you have already detoxed? I will be sure to double check this one. Prairiechyld what dose are you at now while breastfeeding? How much did you take during pregnancy?

This is a reply to # 1,576,058I did at least 50 mg daily for well over six months before getting pg. I think it may have been closer to a year, I dropped back down after I didn't get pg after trying for a few months. I now believe it took me a bit longer to get pg because of the iud I had taken out. Anyway, my last pregnancy I took one and occas two drops Lugols 5% daily. some days I skipped it. During breastfeeding I bumped it up to close to 50 mg daily and felt great but got worrried after hearing about warthogs baby, so cut back to one or two drops again, and then up to about three drops daily while bf and in the early months of pregnancy. Currently almost 8 months pregnant and taking 0-3 drops daily, depends on what I feel that I should take, also I take more if my allergies flare.- Re: Flechas and pregnancy dsstreak

This is a reply to # 1,576,519not very long, maybe several weeks. My baby was never checked for thyroid issues except for the routine screen at birth. he is very healthy, the only time he has ever seen a dr was once, he was several months old and I took him just for a general checkup since he was a home birth and had never been assessed by a doc.
He is very bright and I am amazed at how many words he is already saying, he is not vaccinated at all and is now drinking goat milk that I milk fresh every morning.- Re: Flechas and pregnancy Ginagirl

I took no Iodine during my own pregnancies except for a multi mineral, we all had to pay for that, me with my hypo T and my children following closely; especially the eldest one. I also had three miscarriages in between the two births.
-I would probably go higher if it was me today; but it is better to be on the safe side; nothing is more precious than our children; and we have no direct proof of how much is to much for them.
But, we are also warned in my country to not take more than 0,5 g of vit C during pregnancy; as it could produce "an addiction" while an animal would produce at least 4-5 grams (adjusted to body weight) daily, even more if needed.
One s own estimation is of uttermost importance, IMO.

This is a reply to # 1,576,545Thanks for the information-I will put all of this together before I make a decision as to what to do. I wish there was more research into this aspect of Iodine use. I am so glad for you that your child is so healthy Prairiechyld. Raw milk is a wonderful thing-I have been doing this for my two and a half year old for almost two years. I just started her on Iodine supplementation as well.
