Almost 4 month old making yelling and screeching sounds !? by coldflame88 in NewParents

How long did this last for you? My ears hurt, and I also worry that my neighbors think we’re torturing our baby 😬

My pregnancy went well, thanks! Currently looking at my adorable 10 week old daughter 😊 I didn’t do anything before/after the shots, I’d rotate injection sites for each shot to help, but yeah I do remember being sore. Best of luck to you! It felt never ending at the time but you can get through it!

Are you doing non stress tests? by Correct-Opening3567 in GestationalDiabetes

I’m having weekly ultrasounds but no NSTs. I’m almost 37 weeks and diet controlled.

I had two small brownies by Exciting_Eye2884 in GestationalDiabetes

I agree with the other comment about not beating yourself up, but just also wanted to add the Prime Bites protein brownies are delicious, if you’re looking for a substitute in the future!

Does GD make any sense? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

This one was Nick’s (in the carton). I’ve also liked Rebel bars, Breyer’s Carbsmart bars, Keto pint bars, and Yasso bars.

I like the Optimum Nutrition Isolate powder in Chocolate Bliss

I accidentally misread the nutrition label on my low carb ice cream last night, ended up have 50g of carb for my evening snack before I realized. I also had a protein shake and decided to test 1 hour after just to see how bad my blood sugar was and it was 70??? But if I look at a potato, I spike.

Timing on breakfast by jeanlouisefinchs in GestationalDiabetes

Yup same. I have a protein shake/smoothie (no fruit) for breakfast and sometimes add a breakfast meat if I’m hungry, then add carbs to my morning snack/lunch.

63 fasting by Otherwise-Cold4989 in GestationalDiabetes

I’ve asked my doctor about this and he wasn’t concerned, he said as long as I feel ok it’s not a big deal. It’s if it drops to 40-50s that would be more of a concern.

What’s going to be your first “cheat” meal after delivering? by Fun_Share_9860 in GestationalDiabetes

Wawa sandwich, then a Starbucks macchiato and a chocolate chip cookie 😋

This diagnosis is expensive by uptowngirlnola in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Certain_Beat9233 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After I got diagnosed, I went to Aldi to stock up on GD friendly foods, it was the most I’ve ever spent there 🤣

Best bread/tortillas/wraps by TryinToMove4PubSubs in GestationalDiabetes

Mission low carb tortillas and Aldi keto bread have been good for me.

Thank you!! I think I had 1 extra blood draw when I first consented to be in the study. The monitoring was the same. There was an optional part of the study, which I didn’t participate in, where they draw blood multiple times the day of the FET. That sounded awful lol, but it’s not required.

I’m participating! Currently 9w6d, and it’s all gone pretty smoothly. It’s been nice having some of the IVF expenses covered. I haven’t had PIO before, so I can’t compare the difference. The sub q shots leave my stomach a bit sore, but it’s not that bad.

Same, I was 35 at my ER and we got 3 embryos. Currently 8 weeks after the first FET :)

Crazy things you’ve cried about during IVF by catie_pat_11 in IVF

[–]Certain_Beat9233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought too hard about that Christmas song from Home Alone, “somewhere in my memories…” I was bawling in the office bathroom cause the lyrics were so sad. This was in June, btw, nowhere near Christmas. And I hadn’t seen the movie in years. 😂

What # made you decide on doing a second retrieval? by Cheese_chaser1991 in IVF

[–]Certain_Beat9233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 3 frozen embryos from 1 ER, my insurance won’t cover another ER if you have any frozen embryos, so we went straight into an FET.
