February is On!

Quick update on follow up phone consult with the RE:

All my labs came back normal except for my fasting insulin which was abnormal. My blood sugar was good but my fasting insulin was high so I am not considered diabetic but more at risk of becoming diabetic? I am still trying to absorb all of this. So I get to start metformin tomorrow.

My FSH and my TSH both came back good and he said I should have plenty of eggs to retrieve. We will do the retrieval and transfer in February. I will be taking PIO and Lovenox shots.

I go see him on the 16th to check on everything. I should have preliminary calendar some time this week.

Let's go February! I'm glad you have a plan ready to go!

Have you been on metformin before?

I haven't and I'm not sure what to expect. Last time I had labs done everything came back normal. My DH will talk to the pharmacist tomorrow when he picks it up for me.

I was on it for years. Like wicked said, it can cause an upset stomach. Take it before bed with food but nothing dairy. My doctor recommends a few crackers with it and that helped me. Good luck!

Good news! I've got everything crossed for you!

Yay yay yay!!

I'm glad you got such good results. I had a different kind of test for diabetes that came back pre-diabetes, which means overall my blood sugar control isn't great but they don't know if the problem is right after food, or when fasting. I'm at a much higher risk for diabetes in the future, as a result. Metformin is good to help right now, but it would be good to check with you PCP about long term prevention.

Roll on Feb!
