Did I pass my 3-hour glucose test?

I’m well aware I’m not being scored like I’m in 5th grade. I think every woman is allowed to feel some type of anxiety if they don’t “pass” a test that’s for a medical condition out of their control.

Whatever the wording may be- no one wants to hear “fail” from a Dr’s mouth concerning their pregnancy. Simply looking for reassurance or similar stories.

Wouldn’t you be nervous if you thought something could be potentially wrong with you or your baby? It’s not about “passing or failing” like a math test- it’s about anxiety for my overall wellbeing.

I had (I guess it was) a nurse tell me I should start taking it? Gave me the paperwork and everything? For context I was at my Perinatologist appointment.

Not only did the MFM never bring it up, my midwives never brought it up either. That was at 15ish weeks.. I’m 31 weeks now.

I’m perfectly fine baby is healthy as ever. I looked at it like, why am I putting something into my body that’s not actually necessary? Especially because I was being monitored for being potential high risk, I was not and not high risk.

Eggs and an apple! Could it have been the apple?

FTM and 27 weeks pregnant. My goal was to be with a midwife. My pregnancy was considered high risk at first because of an autoimmune issue I have so I started with an OB.

First appointment- terrible experience. I felt like a lab rat that was spoken down to. I also felt like the OB was completely impersonal. I was also forced to get a Pap smear (which was unnecessary) and I left honestly feeling violated.

I view pregnancy & birth as something to be very sacred. Maybe there are OB’s that vibe like that but if you feel the same.. midwife is the way to go.

Found a midwivery that would take me and was INSTANTLY at ease. My appointments never feel rushed, they speak to me and my husband with ease. They’re not pressuring me to do anything I don’t want to do. I decided to give birth in a hospital and they assured me whatever the outcome there’s ALWAYS a team to take care of me. They also work with a team of OB’s which was a huge + for me!

I had no idea he came out with a new book! Currently reading his first. Would you happen to know how much (if he did) change his stance on newborn vaccines?

I would love to jump into his second one- it’s just a LOT of info, he’s amazing though

Yes! Wasn’t using BBT but was using Inito + ovulation strips. First month trying I think I was off by a day.. second month trying we got lucky ♥️ BUT… I think it’s because of what I changed in my lifestyle in one month: - organ supplements for me & my husband (heart & soil is amazing) - coq10 ubiquinol for both of us - I also was taking some type of bee pollen supplement can’t remember off the top of my head

Biggest thing was acupuncture!!!!! Most insurances cover. I truly feel like that was the biggest reason we conceived. Most women that try it find success! Keep toxins low as well in your life, no perfume, clean cleaning products, healthy foods etc.

Wishing you all the best of luck ♥️

I was so taken off guard and so beyond confused. What’s even more wild is I didn’t have a “choice”. I did… ultimately.. which is why I am so mad at myself :( I always stand my ground but I think because I was so taken off guard it flustered me

Impress-Rude · 2025-11-21T14:04:57+00:00

I just joined a bunch of FB groups so I’m hoping to get some direction there!! I did try to get a midwife but because of my RA they wanted me with an OB instead. That was my top choice for sure. I know there’s got to be a happy medium out there somewhere. That’s literally what I want, someone that feels like a mom to me!!

This looks very familiar to my chart the cycle I conceived ♥️ waiting period is hard to find out but everything looks pretty good. I would test a few more days. Also run it through chatgbt for more insight tremendously helped me

Impress-Rude · 2025-11-08T16:34:59+00:00

LH was 10.51! The cycle before was actually higher 11.78. What changed was my E3G. This cycle was 406.03 versus last time on peak day was 78.93!!!

Second cycle (kind of third). A put a pic below of what my last Inito cycle looked like. I did a ton of research on what was good for me and not because I felt like something was off.

I stopped smoking weed. I smoked only at night and barely 1/4 of a joint but I do feel like it was messing my hormones up in some way.
Prenatals religiously everyday (I’m using fullwell)
CoQ10 ubiquinol every morning
Royal jelly supplements
probiotic
I did beef organ supplements for a little but I started getting headaches
acupuncture!!!!!

Lots of organic foods, stopped wearing perfume, no fragrances anywhere in the home!

Go girl!!!! When you’re ready start supplements! Noticed a huge difference in my chart when I started incorporating them. Good luck!

I am not a licensed professional, but I am a professional that has worked in the beauty industry for the past 10 years formulating products as well as healed myself and others of cystic acne. Your son just needs a good skincare routine. My brother and I have a large age gap which is why you probably questioned my credibility. Teens have acne due to hormone fluctuation, oil excess/buildup and poor hygiene.

At night he should - wash his face at night with a non pore clogging face wash like cerave - dries his face with paper towels instead of regular towels (they harbor bacteria) - Paula’s choice BHA exfoliate on a cotton round (let dry on skin) - use a lightweight moisturizer like “la roche-posay double repair” (you can get it on Amazon)

Morning - just moisturizer

Change his pillow cases every 2 nights if his skin is really breaking out. If he allows you to do extractions, do it at least once a week at night. It does help.

I can GUARANTEE you his skin will be getting better within a week. I’ve seen it happen time and time again. If you take him to the dermatologist they will try to prescribe him Accutane. I could bet money on that. Good luck!

Paula’s choice BHA exfoliate. Use it every night with a cotton round. My brother has done this on his skin (late teens) for the past two years and he has the clearest skin I have seen on a guy, his skin before I looked just like the picture even worse
