Question Fam... I need ur help

Hello eveyone. I hope your urkey day was good with your families.

I am running into a problem. My BS control has been incredibly controlled, except for now and I need your advice and help.
For the past week and 1/2 my BS has beeen on the high side. It always happens when my Period is about to take effect. I usually adjust and Ill do fine. Now, My period is late and my BS is higher then normal. I correct of course, but it just seems to dangle on the high side of things. I know I have been trying to get pregnant but since my DH has had this sperm issue I kind of gave up. Im very scared to take a preg. test for fear of a dissapointment. Please help me fam.....
Can there be anything else causing all this

The only other things I can think of is maybe you're sick and don't know it? Or maybe stress has put all of it off? I know with me, I go loopy when one or both of those circumstances is presented. I hope you figure it all out soon...

Usually with pregnancy from what i understand, you will have about a week or two while the egg implants where teh sugars will rise. And then they will drop.

Or your are getting sick.. Or you are stressed.
I would do a PG test to rule it out <or to discover something wonderful!>
I know what you mean about disappointment though <see my siggy...> And i wish you all the luck in the world with all my fingers crossed for you!!!!!

It's almost winter too. It must be getting cold down there. Our bodies slow down and usually need more insulin. Plus alll teh other suggestions.

Get a test, they're cheap.

One of the ways I realized I was pregnant this time was that my bgs were incredibly high...

Hi Mars, so good to hear from you. I also had higher sugars as soon as I got pregnant with #2. We didn't have meters yet with #1 so can't confirm that one.

Otherwise, glad to hear things have been going welll for you . I agree with the others, it'sstress of some sort. I'll keep my fingers crossed it's the "stress" of bing pregnant.

Hugs, Mich

Time to just take the test and get answers. The sooner you know, the better for you and possibly the baby. Good luck Cinnabon. I hope your new nick will be CinnabonInTheOven.
