Hi all,
I am new to this forum and am excited to be a part of this community! Am feeling a bit overwhelmed and emotional right now so was hoping I could seek some advice and support. A little background…my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for about a year (or more) with no luck. I sought fertility treatment midway through, had 3 failed IUI’s, and was getting ready to start IVF treatment in a month or two. During this in between period, I loosened up a bit on controlling my sugars and have had a fair amount of highs especially through the night. Well fast forward, I just found out I am pregnant (probably around 4-5 weeks). I am in disbelief and shock. Overjoyed beyond words yet so terrified at how my sugars have been. I have made an obgyn and endo appointment and am back on a Dexcom CGM. I am trying to keep my sugars in control but it’s been so difficult. Am assuming part of it is my hormones. I have switched over to a low carb diet but even with that I am getting regular highs. The CGM also does not seem accurate as my finger pricks are showing completely different numbers (50+ higher). I have tried calibrating but the numbers still seem off. Does anyone have any experience with any of this and/or recommendations? Thank you all so much!
