Blood Glucose Strips

Alisha asked:


I am 39w and 4d, I had my membranes stripped yesterday, nothing so far, not eveing cramping. Then today I went to the restroom and there was this thick chunk that was brownish like old blood, is this from having my membranes stripped or did I finally lose my mucous plug??

Okay… I have had my membranes stripped 3 times (I was confused until recently exactly what “stripping the membranes was… now knowing it is where your health care provider will separate your bag of water from your cervix). Well, as I was saying, I have had this done 3 times now - at 38 weeks, 39 weeks, and yesterday at 41 weeks. The first 2 times I had spotting for the rest of the day. However yesterday, even though she was quite rough, I didn’t have any spotting. Well, this morning, I had a lot of contractions (not “regular” ranging from 5-15 minutes apart for about 4 hours). I have not had a contraction in about 5 hours now, and just went to the restroom and had a bit of mucus with some blood streaks in it. Anoyone out there know if you can still lose your mucus plug if the doctor strips your membranes or do you think this (more than 24 hours later) could be result of stripped membranes…. ???????? Thanks!!!!

I am 37 weeks and this morning I had noticed a small (about the size of a marker dot) spot of bright red blood on my panties. I have been having irregular contractions for a couple of days, but none at all today. My doc also stripped my membranes 2 days ago. Should I be worried? The blood was not mixed in with anything, nothing mucousy or anything like that.

we took my 2.5 year old to the doctor and there was blood in the urine after a strip test. He said that they will do further testing and not to be worried. she doesn’t have a uti because there are no other symptoms.
any one had the same experience? what symptoms did your child have?

Ever since wwe was rated pg there was no blood, no extreme rules matches, and no stripping divas. But john morrison is still cool and makes it worthwhile.

Hi everyone, I have a question about Answer Ovulation Strips… I am at day 16 of my cycle (if counting the 1st day of period), and this morning I did my routine of dipping the stick into the urine and the set the stick aside.. I forgot to look at it before I left this morning to run errands, but when I got home the test line was very much darker than the control window… I kinda guessed that I was O-ing because while I was out I noticed alot of wetness down there, however I came home and did the pee-dip again… The test window appears to be the same color as the control, but I cant 100% tell because the line is also wider!

I am using these strips b/c I’m affraid I dont O. I’ve had no luck concieving with my ex. My gyno took blood & said I had low progesterone levels and dont O, so she put me on clomid. I had my doubts b/c I get a reg. period so I had my ex got checked and his fertility was low! Has anyone had a similiar experience? Can you get a reg. period and LH surge & no O?
When I took the test again this afternoon both lines did show the same coloring…. Is it possible to have LH surge and not O?

I took a look at my female hamster today, only to find a lot of blood all over her bedding and on her hamster wheel. I’ve checked her for any cuts, there’s none. there’s weird looking strips of stuff, about the length of the nail of ur thumb, covered with dark red blood. i was just holding one of the bedding with those stuff in front of her and she grabbed the entire thing with her paws and started eating them.

My hamster is a pudding and has been separated from the male hamster for some time (About a week). Any idea what happened to it?

Thanks!

I have ketone test strips and when I took one this morning it put me in the large level. I have been on a fast for about three days now and would like to continue, however I am concerned about how high the level is. Is it dangerous for a person who is not diabetic to have a very high level of ketones in their blood?

Hi, back in June, I had a severe panic attack in which I ended up in the ER. They did every test under the sun, and concluded it was anxiety/panic.

The only thing that was of any concern was that my blood sugar level was 196 that night in ER. No mind you….I was in the middle of a “fight or flight” wild panic attack…..and before I went to ER, I had ate 2 Banana’s and 2 Chocolate Chip granola bars.

When they sent me home, they told me to make sure I check it again….and they also had me pee in a collection bucket for the next 24 hours so they could test it.

My urine came back from the lab as perfectly normal……
And 48 hours later, I did another blood sugar test…… this one came back at 106.

My doctor just wrote off the ER level as having a lot of sugar in my system, and having a panic attack.

I have none of the risk factors for high blood sugar…..
I am 6′0, 175lbs, 7% bodyfat, workout 4 days a week….. no diabetes history or either side of my family ever known.

Since I suffer from OCD, and a Anxiety disorder….I hate to go out and start getting obsessed with blood sugar levels……. if you know me, you’d know I will buy the meter, and the test strips….IN ADDITION to having the doctors office draw blood.

What do you think?? if it were you, would you follow this up, or let it go? I don’t have any of the classic high blood sugar symptoms…..like constant hunger, thirst, or urination.

Please advise!!

how is it that blood from our uterous gets into our bladder? i dont understand this. the doctor dipped my urine with one of those test strips to see if ihad and infection and such. there was no visibale blood in my urine. but the test strip read moderate amount of blood. the urethea is where we urinate from. how does the blood get in there? i could understand it if the blood was actually visibale in the urine, i would just assume it leaked out of my vagina. but to have a trace of it in the urine confuses me. i hope im makeing sense. last cycle i had no blood in my urine at all and was 1 week away from my period. this month im also at the doctor 1 week before my af and i have blood. im hopeing it was implantation bleeding and not af. how the frigg does it get there? i dont understand the concept?
just to clarify the question a bit more..i had no visible blood in the urine, it came from my bladder yes..but if it were implantation bleeding how did the blood get into the bladder???also last month the strip showed moderate blood, none in the cup she said i was going to get my period. again how did the blood from shedding my uterine lining get into my bladder 1 week before my period is due?
