It is Friday... Luckily a quiet day in the office with only myself and one other employee even scheduled to come in. I called Dr. Usha as soon as I got in the office and sat back to wait on her to return my call...
Finally, on my way to lunch she called me and asked me if I could make it in for 3pm... Of course I could, I waited all day for this! As expected she was as surprised as I was, because I had just 10 days prior assured her I was NOT pregnant.
When I got into the office, they had me weight in, pee in the little cup and wait in the exam room. The nurse came in, checked my temperature, blood pressure and heart rate - No change since 10 days prior, although I had lost 2lbs...
Dr. Usha came in, and said "Good News, It is Positive."
I was floored. I truly thought she would tell me the tests the night before were a mistake... I had no idea what to think, except for how much was going to change in the next few months... I called Lee when I left her office, and we agreed to still wait until we seen an OB - we had no idea how far along I was, by our best estimates from my last real period, it could be as many as 12 weeks.
Dr. Usha told me she would find me a OB who could get me in ASAP because my sugar levels were running high and I needed to get them under control as early as possible because of the potential complications.
She also started me on a sliding scale for insulin as well as checking my blood sugars 4 times a day - something I had hoped to never have to do again. But, you never know what life will throw at you, and this began a new step in our lives.
