A Failing Body...

I failed my 1 hour glucose test last Friday.

Went today for the 3 hour one - 4 blood draws in 3 hours thank you very much!

I'm sure I failed.

My sugars were checked prior to our IVF procedure and were normal (they do this because high sugars = better pregnancy rate however it also = higher miscarriage rate and... we wanted my embreyos to be sticky!) If sugars are high they put you on metformin.

How can I be failing when I am so careful and haven't even gained a lb and am 28 weeks? Seriously!

I am so frustrated :( And just to add to the pleasure of the day after sitting at Qwest for 3 hours and then getting the kids at school I am sitting here with toes and ankles that have just ballooned up. Really? From fasting and a slice of bread with PB? I am suppose to have a lot of protein today to counteract the wonderfully delicious orange kool-aid glucose drink...

I think I might give up for the day and head to bed now!

Just so you know - I am really happy to be pregnant and love my baby very much and yes, still want to do this again... I'm just having a few cranky days...
