Ready for more test results from me?

trizzie · January 2014

It has been a while since I have PW'd about my situation. The (new) doctor just called with my latest test results. The good news: my chromosomes are normal and my ovarian reserve is good (take that specialist). The bad news is that my A1C (glucose level) was slightly elevated. The metformin will help with that. This isn't terribly surprising - my dad has diabetes (it runs in his family) and I had GD with DS. I am carrying about 10 extra pounds from the miscarriages (and a bit of depression mixed in). But, I am determined once I have a baby - I will go to a nutritionist and make sure to reverse this issue. I refuse to end up with Type 2 diabetes. Refuse. This was also the kick in the pants I need to quit my Diet Coke habit.

I've been thinking about you but didn't want to ask too many questions, glad that your chromosomes are normal! Best of luck to you going forward!

That is sweet. I am an open book - I don't mind questions.

But, thank you for being sensitive. the normal chromosomes is the best news I have gotten in a while!

I know I had a bit of depression after each of my miscarriages as well. I hope you get it all figured out and have a big ol' PG belly soon!!

I'm kind of new here...but am glad to see you are getting some answers! I too struggled to kick a soda habit and feel SO much better after. My favorite go to is seltzer water now...I love bubbles.

Sometimes I mix it with some juice.

Good luck!

So happy to hear that the issue is a treatable and manageable one! The first step is knowing what's wrong in the first place, and it sounds like you're finally on the road in the right direction with the new doctor.

I try and do without soda too, and it's hard. I second what PP said about seltzer water - try it mixed with some juice, it satisfies the craving for something sweet and fizzy.
