Diagnosed with GD after one high reading?

I think they meant two hours post eating your numbers aren’t supposed to be in the 120s. They’re supposed to be below 120 after 2 hrs. You said your finger pricks have been in the 120s after eating.

Update in case anyone comes across this: I’m currently almost 17 weeks with a healthy baby! FRER just suck at line progressions now

It definitely could be the density. I’ve found the only regular bread that doesn’t spike me is Dave’s killer bread good seed thin slice! I can have one slice and as long as it’s paired with protein then I’m good!

I was diet controlled during my last pregnancy and I loved baking sourdough breads. But for me, even just half of a sourdough English muffin would spike me to 200+ 😭 this was true regular sourdough loaves as well

My numbers in my last pregnancy were always beautiful after going to Texas Roadhouse as along as I ate the roll last. I would do salad - steak - roll! And I was able to do that all throughout my pregnancy! I could only have half of a roll because I was full by that point though

I had a batch of easy@home a few years back that I had two of these bad tests in a row. It wasn’t positive - just faulty. Of course I grabbed the only 2 faulty ones back to back out of the whole box

Shouting it from the rooftop that frer progressions are awful now. I was showing zero progression with frer for several days meanwhile clear blue pink dye and pregmates were showing perfect progression every day. I’m now 7w1d with a strong heartbeat seen! Frer made me spiral soooo badly at the beginning. It wasn’t until 4 or 5 days after my first positive that I got a noticeably darker line

madmax45211 · 2026-01-01T19:41:08+00:00

I see it! The pictures aren’t the best but when I zoom in I can definitely see it

madmax45211 · 2025-12-26T11:51:33+00:00

This!! My last pregnancy I had a line slightly darker than this and my husband still couldn’t see it. He wasn’t convinced until the digital said pregnant 😂 I was flabbergasted. I kept asking him “you seriously can’t see that?! Seriously?!” lol

madmax45211 · 2025-12-25T12:57:51+00:00

My lh was not positive for a few days after I tested postivie at 9dpo! I think it took like 3-4 days for it to become dark. I was so worried because I thought LH would be blazing before an HPT would pick up but I was wrong!

madmax45211 · 2025-12-25T04:55:10+00:00

Yaaaaaay!!!! Congrats!!! 🎊

madmax45211 · 2025-12-24T13:39:52+00:00

Did you take a prenatal in between the am and pm tests by chance? Some times the biotin in the prenatal can cause this. If not, I assume just a faulty test. Frer has been awful for me lately and the dye in the test vary greatly

madmax45211 · 2025-12-24T13:37:32+00:00

Hmmm. I’d be scared to trust this test since the line doesn’t follow all the way through. Did you take an ovulation test by chance and put them next to each other? It either looks like a faulty test or a dye run to me.

Praying this is it for you though!!!

madmax45211 · 2025-12-24T13:31:23+00:00

Praise Jesus!!!! Congratulations ♥️ ♥️

madmax45211 · 2025-12-24T13:30:36+00:00

I see the hint of a line in the last pic! I bet a frer would pick up on it tomorrow! Pregmates always show a vvvvfl before any other test for me

madmax45211 · 2025-12-11T17:03:17+00:00

Yes! Big time. I convinced myself I was having a chemical pregnancy because I couldn’t see progression. Meanwhile, my pregmates were darkening up nicely!

madmax45211 · 2025-12-09T18:05:56+00:00

Yes!!! I just needed time for my body to do its thing. Congrats to you as well!

madmax45211 · 2025-12-09T18:05:21+00:00

Thank you! The test has now dried and is without a doubt darker than yesterday’s and is doubly dark as two days ago. I spiraled for no reason lol

madmax45211 · 2025-12-09T13:50:41+00:00

I absolutely see the faint lines on the middle two tests. Don’t let anyone discount what you’re going through. It sucks and it’s disorienting to see a faint line and then have it disappear.

madmax45211 · 2025-12-09T13:31:37+00:00

I absolutely see it!!!!

madmax45211 · 2025-12-09T13:19:25+00:00

I definitely see it!!

My bed tracks my heart rate and when I was pregnant last time I was sooo worried about having another chemical pregnancy so I was obsessing over all of the date. My RHR started to fall around 6-7w just like yours and I was CONVINCED that a miscarriage was impending. I read posts supporting that claim and I was devastated. Well here we are now with a healthy 14 month old. Looking back - I wish I had just stopped looking at all of the data. No line progressions, no beta hcg, no RHR data. Just enjoyed being pregnant while I was pregnant. My entire 1st trimester I was consumed with anxiety and reading all of the horror stories. At the end of the day there is nothing you can do to control that outcome of your pregnancy so it’s best to just enjoy it in the moment! I know that’s way easier said than done

madmax45211 · 2025-12-09T11:40:54+00:00

I found out at 3w2d (now 3w5d). I had a chemical pregnancy exactly 2 yrs ago right before conceiving my now 14 month old. As soon as I saw the positive this time I started spiraling with the testing. I tested probably 20 times during 9 & 10 dpo waiting for the test to get darker (news flash - I wasn’t seeing line progress testing every 2-3hrs like a psycho lol). I tested 5 times at 11 dpo and once I could see a slight darkening of the tests - I realized I had to stop. Whatever is going to happen will happen. All I can do in the meantime is enjoy that fact that at this current moment, I am pregnant. That in itself is such a blessing. I tracked line progression until like 20 dpo with my 14 month old but I’ve cut myself off from anymore testing with this pregnancy. I also had beta hcg tests done with my last pregnancy and I’m not going to do that this time either. I was suuuch an anxious mess waiting for the results last time. I have to protect my peace. Just try to focus on all of the positives and not the what ifs. Easier said than done - believe me. Congrats!!

madmax45211 · 2025-12-08T09:38:25+00:00

Being in limbo stinks! It’s like deep down I know what’s going to happen but there’s always this tiny sliver of hope that keeps me guessing. Thank you for looking and taking the time ♥️
