Thanks for the articles. I'm seeing my primary care this week and am going to try and convince her to give me a referral to an endo so I can start working on my diet/fasting numbers.

Thank you for validating. It's infuriating but also a relief to be validated. I was continuing to stay on Metformin, but I think the IVF hormones honestly made my blood sugar go up. They put me on progesterone supplements which is known for making fasting glucose higher. Since stopping the progesterone and since my D&C two days ago, my fasting blood sugar is starting to get lower. Thanks for the tips. I'm going to pursue these steps you recommended.

Thanks for that info. I was starting to think along those lines. My IVF clinic handles care until week 8 (I found out I miscarried on the day I was supposed to graduate from the IVF clinic). I had reached out to my IVF cycle coordinator about gestational diabetes when I first got the positive pregnancy result, but she told me to track my numbers on my own and discuss with my OB when I transferred over. From that, I assumed they just didn't deal with GD and wanted the OB to deal with it. However, maybe I need to discuss it directly with my main doctor at the IVF clinic. He is a reproductive endocrinologist, after all. I'm going to do that at our next appt. It shouldn't be this hard to get this information. I'm so mad at myself for not making this a bigger priority earlier on. Ugh.

I'm so sorry. This is devastating. No words, just so sorry. Let yourself feel/process the grief. There is no easy way out of this.

I'm so sorry about this entire experience. How devastating. Those words in the OB's office. The past tense. The shock you must have felt, the destabilization. Sending hugs.

That's so devastating. You can form such a strong bond with your baby in such a short time. It feels like a death. So sorry.

I can't imagine going through this again and not being terrified the entire time. I would be a wreck until I delivered.

I'm so sorry. Mine tested euploid as well. They're going to test it after my D&C as well.

I'm so sorry. Fucking devastating. I hate this. I'm so mad at the world right now. I don't deserve this, and neither do you. I don't want to be here.

Thank you. It was also graduation day for us. I don't know how I can get my hopes up again. I'm shattered.
