In Shock
I got told in Dec I have hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, basically my ovaries have shut down and my doctor told me there is a slim chance I can every get pregnant, he said 5-10% chance I could. Well the last few weeks I have been having muscle spasms in my stomach that weren't at all painful like cramps or anything. I finally bought a home pregnancy test today and it was positive, so I went to the local walk in clinic thinking it was a false positive, they did a blood test and it came up positive as well. I have already called my cardiologist, neurologist and gp about my meds to find out which ones I need to go off on and I see my OBGYN on Feb.11. The one advantage I have going for me is my A1C has been in the 5's for a year so I am under tight control. I am just in shock right now from this. My pump trainer is going to get me some cgms censors until I can afford to buy some next month so I can keep tight control of my blood sugars. I am just shocked right now.
