Skipping the witch?

[#3nextsummer]

Ok sorry I don't know your history.....so you are just off bc then? because it can take a few months to be regular after coming off it. Especially if you have missed pills.

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

nope, im not off of it, well, technically i am this month since af didnt show, so i didnt know if or when to start this months pill pack.

Ive been on the same bc for ages, always been super regular, even when I managed to skip a whole week (i was single and not bd-ing with anyone, thank goodness)

so the bc is definately not the reason, my doctor ruled that out too

 

[#3nextsummer]

Hummm well you have me stumped then, sorry......

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

haha ive stumped myself too!

its weird because I think I feel pregnant...backache, slightly bigger fuller boobies, very sensitive too, random dizziness or headache (i never get headaches) and at night I get these random burps that turn on the sick feeling, water like cm and lots of it, my facial acne is clearing up super fast!

I guess im going to have to wait it out until i get the results

 

[mommyandbaby]

Oh we can't wait to find out hun!.. Let us know ASAP

Well i guess the main reason why im getting my hopes up so high is because I am diabetic (type 1) and my blood sugar is hard to control, i usually run it pretty high. Well lately my blood sugar has been in the normal to low range for me....like before dinner it was 165, now after dinner it was 86. I havent seen these kinds of numbers with no effort in a while. and i did some research and....

What happens with diabetes and pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the placenta supplies a growing fetus with nutrients and water, as well as produces a variety of hormones to maintain the pregnancy. In early pregnancy, hormones can cause increased insulin secretion and decreased glucose produced by the liver, which can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels). In later pregnancy, some of these hormones (estrogen, cortisol, and human placental lactogen) can have a blocking effect on insulin, a condition called insulin resistance.

As the placenta grows, more of these hormones are produced, and insulin resistance becomes greater. Normally, the pancreas is able to make additional insulin to overcome insulin resistance, but when the production of insulin is not enough to overcome the effect of the placental hormones, gestational diabetes results or there may be worsening of pre-existing diabetes.



and this is from the Mayo clinic...

First trimester
During the first 10 to 12 weeks of your pregnancy, you'll meet with your obstetrician regularly. Whoever is helping you manage your blood sugar through insulin dosage will want to be actively involved at this time as well. This is the time that your baby's organs are developing, so you want your blood sugar to be as close to normal as possible to prevent birth defects. Frequent blood sugar monitoring can help you do this. Because your body's need for insulin may drop slightly during this time, it's important to be alert to signs of low blood sugar.
Morning sickness (nausea) can further complicate the appropriate use of insulin by altering your absorption of carbohydrates in your diet. Contact your care providers to help control this symptom and for advice regarding insulin treatment.

At this stage of your pregnancy, it's also important to see an eye specialist. Damage to the small blood vessels in your eyes can progress during pregnancy.

I have never skipped but I have gotten it twice in one month before!

OK, I have a theory... maybe because you missed a few pills, you did end up O'ing naturally, but later than you would have had you not been on BCPs to make AF on time (i.e. 28 or whatever day cycle) (on BCPs you are most likely not O'ing, the pills are providing the synthetic "post-O hormonal conditions"). You didn't necessarily fertilize the egg, but you may just be waiting on your natural progesterone levels to drop for AF to start. Good luck! I hope you get the results you are looking for!

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

thats a great theory, but its been 20 days since the last pill, so i dont know. either way it will be ok

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

So I woke up wanting to gag....especially when I got in the shower. yikes!

cant wait for the test results!

 

[miss maternal]

Congratulations on your BFP

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

do you know something I dont know? I surely hope its a BFP! no results are in yet

 

[mommyandbaby]

Okay that was kinda funny. I was like wait did i miss something here? ..
Do you know when the results will be back?

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

they said 2 to 4 days...well the blood was taken yesterday...and i called today but nothing....and no AF, but my blood sugar has been oddly low and ive lost my mind!

I thought I lost my blood sugar tester between work and school somewhere so I drive back to work and i cant find it and I get in my car and just start bawling my eyes out! i was like "whoa what is wrong with you?!?! pull it together!"
and luckily, my coworkers found it!

 

[mommyandbaby]

OMG!. I'm so sorry hunny. I'm glad someone found it!.!
I would be losing my mind to if I didn't know what was wrong with me..
I hope you find out soon hun. And, I hope your blood sugar gets back to were it needs to be.
I'm hypoglycemic myself. But, I know nothing about Diabities and pregnancy.
My dad has type 2.
Don't get to overwhelmed and stressed. You don't need your blood pressure to go up.

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

im staying as calm as possible, enjoying eating a lot without having to take a lot of insulin, and trying to avoid the morning and night and midafternoon sickness!

 

[mommyandbaby]

I'm sorry hun. It must be tuff for you right now.
You got night sickness? That's awful.

Never mind, Your not taking a lot of the insulin right now.. I thought you said you weren't taking it right now.. My bad.

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

98 before dinner, had a hot dog and fries, we shall see where my blood sugar goes.

btw, this may sound weird but the past couple of weeks ive been sleeping with my bra on for comfort reasons. Last night i decided to try to sleep without it and I couldnt get to sleep, it was like lead weights pulling me down! has that happened to anyone else lately?

 

[mommyandbaby]

That has happened with my first pregnancy my boobies felt like porn star (Dolly parton boobs)

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

well they are already huge, but now they are overflowing a little bit.

if im not pregnant, ill be surprised!
