Top number only high by 4 points in line with their thresholds. Did they not offer to don't again... I often have my done anywhere from 2 to 7 times a visit to get it in range... but slightly elevated is my normal.

No she said it was fine 😩

Mine said anything under 140/90 is ok, I think depends on your baseline x

I wouldn’t worry, it’s probably just a one off. Sometimes it’s due to rushing around/being hot/stressed etc. mine is too high nearly every time it’s done (higher than this) and when they do it again a few minutes later it’s fine again and within range

Thanks to be honest I did wait 40 minutes to be told she didn’t even know I was there to see her, I was pretty angry šŸ˜‚šŸ¤”

Glucose Test

Y’all were SO dramatic about this… I was waiting for this test to be disgusting & was so anxious about it. All for it to taste like barely flat Orange Fanta.

Early gender tests

Has anyone used the peekaboo early gender blood test??
I did a sneak peek at 6 weeks (very rushed and in a bathroom I share with my husband) and it came back boy. I wasn’t convinced I didn’t contaminate it so I bought a peekaboo.

Peekaboo came back as a girl result at 6 weeks 3 days.

So now I’m the fool who paid $270 to be right where I started. Is one less accurate than the other? I mean I could’ve contaminated the boy result but the peekaboo may have been too early without enough fetal dna?? Ugh I want a girl!! I have two boys 3.5 / 12 months. Idk if I can handle another little boy in such quick succession haha

Pregnacare Max Warning

Just to warn anyone who is taking or planning to take this supplement…

I was cautiously optimistic, as I’ve read the reviews and a lot of people say it changed their cycle, delayed ovulation, etc.

After a series of miscarriages and taking a long break, my cycles were finally back to how they were before, I’ve had loads of CM every month, etc. Until I started on this prenatal… First few weeks on them and my CM dried up! I’ve had barely anything during my fertile window too, which we all know can affect the likelihood of conception.

I’m sure this is a great supplement for many, but be aware.
