Well it's official - I have GD. In fact when I took my 3 hour test - I didn't just fail it - I flunked the damn thing. I failed all 4 numbers - but I wasn't surprised. I had GD last time and I'm about 10 lb and a few years older this time. We tried to go diet controlled but after a week it was very clear to me that it wasn't going to work. I was able to control my 2 hour scores but my fasting scores were constantly 20 points higher. And bless the heart of my GD counselor but when I explained that none of the tips they gave me were helping my fasting - she just kept repeating the same thing. Instead of wasting another week - I just spoke to my doc.
She put me on glyburide. Initially I was nervous but honestly - my sugars have all come down since taking it at night and there are NO SIDE EFFECTS!
It's nothing like the metformin runny tummy woes I was dealing with earlier.
Oh and here's a quick update :
1 - I'm 30.5 weeks now
2 - I have gained only 13 lb since pre-pregnancy weight
3 - I didn't gain anything in the last 4 weeks
4 - baby is measuring close to 4 lb
5 - He's also measuring a week ahead
6 - Oh and I'm roughly 5 weeks away from having my cerclage removed and graduating from my perinatologist!!
Time permitting I'll do a post about my SPD - because this has been the most debilitating thing I have ever experienced. It's worse than bed rest!!

It's so weird having no problems to report
So I'm not complaining at all but - everything is actually going well with this pregnancy. That's our baby boy up there looking very creepy! Besides my SPD which I've grown tired of complaining about , this pregnancy is absolutely uneventful. I am going for my glucose 3 hour in a week and fully expecting to fail it LOL. But maybe I'm just being pessimistic. Anyway this infertility warrior is feeling very undeserving of the title right now!
