It’s about time for the glucose tolerance test. Yay…
I took mine yesterday and only squeaked by one point under the threshold, so I have to take it again. I am not happy about it. Quite disappointed. I have PCOS. I already restrict my diet, am on metformin, have gained the minimum weight in the recommended range, and exercise moderately for 50 plus minutes a day. My OB even said this to me yesterday, “oh you’ll pass it. You’re so skinny!” I HATE when she says that to me. It wasn’t the first time.
I was so looking forward the enjoying all the upcoming holiday food while pregnant.
Re: GD Test
Exercise is my stress reliever, confidence booster, and keeps depression at bay for me. @elksamm, walks are honestly the best.
I have 4 weeks of freedom left.
I thought i was already anemic because i was bruising all the time so i had them draw blood last time but it all came back normal. I assume later on i'll have to take iron since i did the first pregnancy. Not doing GD test until 28week appointment since i already did an early screen and passed.
It's interesting to me that clinics have so many different ranges. My clinic will let you pass if you have <125 i believe but make you do the 3 hour if you are over that. where other clinics will let you go to 140. I guess whatever keeps that baby safe!
Wow, less than 125? I don’t think I’ve heard of such a low threshold. Keep us updated on the next test you take!
I preferred the flavor of the 1-hr drink (orange) to the 3-hr (fruit punch), but honestly, I enjoyed both. I may be a weirdo.

And the lab had the 3hr glucola refrigerated for today too, which I appreciated
