With the second, I did have GD, and it honestly wasn't that bad. The first month or so on the diet kind of sucked, but after that it became easier.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your 3-hour. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you pass with flying colors.Paranoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941403343831583259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373492995504719892.post-25845320920641610532009-02-25T16:25:00.000-05:002009-02-25T16:25:00.000-05:00I think any more hurdles that get thrown in your w...I think any more hurdles that get thrown in your way when you're pg after IF feel like huge insults. I'm sorry you have to do another darned test, but I hope all turns out well. As mymaybebaby commented, even if it's the worst case scenario, it may be okay.<BR/><BR/>Big hugs to you!Shinejilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353174053245279899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373492995504719892.post-87637979692601466272009-02-25T13:05:00.000-05:002009-02-25T13:05:00.000-05:00Ugh, sorry you failed the screening test.

Hoping the next test goes well.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, too, that you have to worry about getting upset at work (and having people give feedback about it). I'm sure I would HATE thinking about being dismissed as the "hormonal woman" on the job. Really, that kind of thing would totally bother me too!! Hope you can let it go, though, and that maybe your reaction actually helped others rethink what I'm sure was an *actual* problem with the way they were discussing your team member.<BR/><BR/>-Lisa from infertilegroundLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179416251623111334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373492995504719892.post-7196440339643361742009-02-25T06:37:00.000-05:002009-02-25T06:37:00.000-05:00Joonie, I failed my tests and was confirmed as hav...Joonie, I failed my tests and was confirmed as having GD during my 27th week of pregnancy. I was really upset too. <BR/><BR/>I had regular appointments with an Endocrinologist and together with diet and insulin I was able to manage it reasonably well. My baby was born at a normal weight with no complications.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, the low GI diet was a blessing. I only put on 2kg during my last 3 months and now with a 7 week old baby I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. It has spurred me on to get fitter and lose the extra 10 kg that I have been carrying around for years. I will be having another 3 hour GTT next week to confirm that it has gone.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you don't have GD, but if you do, you will be fine - just look after yourself. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your 3 hour test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
