First of all, I am thrilled and relieved to report that I DON'T have gestational diabetes!
I called my doctor this afternoon and my results had just arrived. I don't know what the numbers were, but I was assured that my blood glucose was within normal range and I don't have GD. I honestly didn't think I would pass! Between the PCOS, the "trace" amounts of glucose in my last urine test, my hefty weight gain and my 3-week ahead fundal height, I didn't think I stood a chance of passing. But I am certainly not complaining! What a wonderful surprise!
It was noted, however, that my iron levels were slightly low and I am considered to be a tad anemic. I have been instructed to purchase and take a weekly iron supplement (seems weird to only take it once a week but oh well). Easy enough.
Also, today's shopping expedition was a great success. I found two great dresses, exactly what I wanted, plus a simple skirt. You guys wanna see pictures?
Happy day!

i was diagonsed as anemic. Have fun shopping and at the wedding. good luck with the GD results
You notice, every time I say 'stay positive' things go well?????
coincidence... I think not!
So glad that your tests came back well. I wouldn't worry about being slightly anemic - a lot of people are borderline and never have a problem result because of it. If it's minor enough that you only have to take a supplement once a week, I think you're good to go!
Yes, please! Post pics of your new duds! :-)
Woo hoo!! Great news on the GD. Of course we want to see the shopping!!
do we want to see pictures-AS IF! yea, for not having GD.
I just came across your blog-it's wonderful! So encouraging to know that you are expecting after a long bout with infertility.
Yay!
I'm glad that the GD test came back normal.
And yes, I definitely want to see pictures!
