  Over 35, Type II Diabetes, Thyroid Disorder, PCOS, morbidly obese and first pregnancy/over 10 year of infertility
  
  2. How far along are you? 
  12 weeks, 4 days
  
  3. How is treatment going for you? 
  Struggling to get my morning sugars down to the range my endo wants them at.  Endo took me off of most of my normal medications when we got BFP. Currently on Synthroid, Levemir, and Novolog
  
  4. What kind of support are you getting from spouse/partner/family/friends?
  They are all currently trying to fill with me with positivity.  I'm constantly worried that this won't last since so much is working against me.
  All are aware of my diabetic struggles and show concern when I drop too low.
  
  5. GTKY: What is your favorite food to prepare? 
  Spinach and egg white omelets for breakfast!

  1. Why are you high-risk? 
  Over 35, previous blood clots and bilateral pulmonary emboli 
  
  2. How far along are you? 
  9 weeks, 1 day
  
  3. How is treatment going for you? 
  I've been on lovenox since the clots.  I had just started my first IVF treatment with all the fun hormones which caused the clots.  So I just stayed on lovenox after they cleared and went back into treatment.  I feel less nervous on the treatment, although I know I could technically still get a clot even on thinners.  This week I got cold though, so the fatigue is even worse!
  
  4. What kind of support are you getting from spouse/partner/family/friends?
  I'm a single mother by choice, but I have extremely supportive friends and family
  
  5. GTKY: What is your favorite food to prepare? 
  Whatever is fast and easy.  Cottage cheese with avocado and tomatoes is my fave!

  5. GTKY: What is your favorite food to prepare?
  I absolutely love to cook (hate to bake) but right now I'm still gagging at everything.
  Normally I use my crock pot and bread machine a ton. I also enjoy experimenting with my own twist on recipes. I have a daughter with over 15 food allergies (very complex situation) So I'm constantly cooking because I can't buy ANYTHING pre-made for her.
