So,
Had a doctors appointment on Thursday and I've been having issues with major migraines, dizzy spells, loss of vision, and having a hard time regaining it back. Not to mention the crazy amount of times I go to the bathroom, my undying thirst, fatigue.. and my constant need to be stuffing my face. I am 23 weeks pregnant, and he feels that it may have something to do with my glucose or my iron levels, but says it's too early to do the blood test for either one of them.
So what exactly am I supposed to do until I AM far enough along? Wait around to see if I get worse? Possibly faint or pass out while taking care of my toddler?? I called yesterday, and his nurse told me to call my PCP and have her order some diagnostic tests. I asked if I should just go to women and infants hospital and she told me it wasn't necessary? I just want to know what's going on!!

@ashley07, am I able to go get a testing kit myself? I have no idea how that works 😖 I never had GD with my first son
They said they do the glucose testing and iron (anemia) testing at 26 weeks. I read up on line and it said gestational diabetes can be caught after 20 weeks of pregnancy. And that low iron can be caught at any time, doesn't make any sense to me what so ever.
How can they say it's too early to check your iron? It was so in the first set of labs that I did??
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
AF due 29th, anyone else?
Hi all AF is due 29th Sept for me feels like forever away. Has anyone tested yet or when do you plan on testing x
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
