  1. Blood Sugar Level Assessment
    A blood sugar level of 175 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured when fasting. This suggests elevated blood glucose, potentially indicating prediabetes or diabetes.

  2. Normal Blood Sugar Ranges
    a. Fasting: Below 100 mg/dL is normal.
    b. Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dL.
    c. Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests.

  3. Postprandial Levels
    If the reading was post-meal, it is still above the normal range, which is below 140 mg/dL.

  4. Next Steps
    Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. They may suggest additional tests like HbA1c or an oral glucose tolerance test.

  5. Management Tips
    Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and follow medical advice to manage blood sugar levels effectively.

I've been on progesterone from day 21 after my IUI, and I'm having belly cramps, so my doc gave me Drotin for the pain. I don't feel any pregnancy symptoms yet like discharge or sore breasts. Is this normal? When do pregnancy symptoms usually start? How can I tell if the IUI was successful?

It is normal not to experience pregnancy symptoms immediately after an IUI procedure. Pregnancy symptoms typically start appearing around 4-6 weeks after conception. To know if your IUI was successful, you will need to wait for a missed period and then take a pregnancy test. If the test is positive, it indicates a successful IUI. In the meantime, continue with your progesterone support as prescribed.
