If you have been reading and keeping up with the recent #MCM post, I am sure its become pretty obvious by the tone that I am working something out internally, on a quest to better health, and sustaining inner peace. I might have even stated actually that it in one of the prior post? Although I have put it out there, I haven't been as forthcoming as to exactly why I am on this journey to clean, detoxify, and emotionally purge.......About two months ago, I paid a visit to a very popular well-known women's health clinic in Jersey to a: have a general women well visit and b: have a fertility work up to see and make sure my internal women parts were "working properly". What made me schedule the visit in the first place is that my husband and I at some point would like another child however given our busy schedules, they don't always sync up to make that a reality. Being a busy working mom and student with my own business and my husband being an entrepreneur as well, sometimes we are burning the midnight oil, grinding, and unfortunately that doesn't leave too much husband and wife time.  Not to mention we are both very active parents in our 4yr old daughters life and trust me, one hour with her and you will be pooped! I hadn't seen my OB since my daughter was born (she turns 5 in Feb) I figured since I already had a baby and successful pregnancy prior, getting pregnant shouldn't be an issue, so why not just go and get checked out to see where I stand.  Boy am I glad I did just that......



One of the most eye opening and revealing visits I have had in a while and I am so grateful that I finally got off my butt and went, otherwise I would have been a sitting duck given the news I received that day.  I get checked out and some blood work done that is sent off to the lab. When the results come back and my midwife goes over the chart with me and basically tells me that my numbers indicate that I am "pre-diabetic" I almost fell off the exam table. I was like what did you say? So of course my mind is racing and due to my slight bit of hypochondria, I am already thinking the worst. "pre-diabetic" what does that even mean? I am thin and have been naturally slim my entire life, how is this possible? This is affecting my ability to have another child? But I already had a baby, a huge 9'2 healthy baby all natural, no problem, no complications, 100% bill of health. Why all of a sudden out of the blue a random medical issue has manifested? These were all of the questions I immediately fired off to my midwife and in laments term she basically told me that there was an excess of insulin within my body that had nowhere to go and that my ovaries were absorbing the remaining of it which was blocking my 'lady hormones" (LH) every month, which also made sense why I had an early miscarriage a few months back.  At this point I am no longer concerned with having a baby, I am more concerned with my overall health and if I was starring down the barrel into the dreaded "D" word.....Diabetes, also I wanted immediate answers to the questions of why/how did this happen and what does this mean for the future of me being able to conceive?
