Back sooner than I thought
Well, I am back again. I guess a little break was good and bad. I think that I was blissfully pregnant and didn't want to bum anyone out with happy, happy all the time. I am still relatively blissfully pregnant, but there are some possible kinks again...of course...this bizarre body of mine.
So some updates...
1. Flunked 1 hour OGTT...tried again as the lab screwed up and gave me too much glucose the 1st time...2nd try with appropriate amount of glucose drink (ICK)...flunked it again. Am questioning whether lab is reliable.
2. Anemia has shown up in the blood work
3. Thyroid tests are out of whack
4. Seriously considering repeating all lab again at another lab.
5. Waiting to hear from OB doc...
6. Do not want to take 3 hour OGTT...1 hour made me feel really, really bad. I can't imagine how the baby felt.
7. Am willing and have been checking fingerstick blood glucoses and all have been normal/ borderline.
8. Know that I have been bad about sweets, sodas, carbs
9. Have been a good girl these past 3 days and think I can do it for the next 3 months.
10. Am mad at my body again
...but somehow I feel that the baby is doing fine and I actually feel really good most of the time.
Thus the frustration and using blog again to vent/ find hope/ share problems with the world.

Glad to see you back, but not glad to see your reasons! I've been wondering how you've been doing. My glucose test is supposed to be tomorrow, but I think my doc kind of forgot about it in light of all the pe stuff so I'm going to play dumb and just bring it along with me to my appt and try to get out of it (fat chance, I know). I'm sorry to hear it was so damned icky for you. How anemic are you? And your thyroid- what's happening? Please update- !
