Thanks ladies.
I will be really disappointed if it is because I had anorexia, although at least I can relax knowing there isn't an immediate health risk. The Ed was related to an event which I have dealt with and I truly have been healthy for all my adult life. I don't mind if they want to monitor me for relapse (I'm a psychologist so can very well see the importance) but don't want to be written off for it. It is only the last few years that my family have stopped watching me every meal time and accepted that I am doing well, I don't want to have to prove myself to dr's and really don't know what more I could do to prove things anyway.
If it is the borderline gd, I have been monitoring it the past week and have kept levels below 8 except for when I ate ice cream so should be able to show that I can mange things. Again though, hapy to have extra monitoring just want to know where I stand and don't want unneeded scare tactics.
Indadhanu that must be really frustrating for you.
Just thought I would update in case anyone else ever gets a 'medium risk' letter.
I saw my ob today and he said they call it medium so you can still have the baby locally but with extra monitoring rather than going to the bigger women's hospital. He actually couldn't see why the referral had ben made and thinks it came from the midwife I saw. She miss understood the fertility treatment I had and wrote 'ovulation induction using injections on one form' but ivf on another. My ob suspects the hospital viewed an ivf pregnancy as a higher risk as whilst the gd is borderline and my thyroid over active I don't need medication for anything so he can't see why I would need to be classed as medium risk. I have a booking in appointment at the hospital on Monday so hoping with my ob's help we can get the label taken away.
