Good and bad news...
I just got a call from my OB.
The good news:
I passed my 3 hour GTT - yea!!!! 
The bad news:
My iron levels are still really low, despite being on a supplement and I have to get an Iron panel done. I guess it's just bloodwork??
And I apparently have a UTI and I have to get three injections to treat it.
But I have no symptoms. 
Anyone have either of these issues (the iron or the UTI??)

Re: Good and bad news...
By anychance did you go to Quest? I was there a few months ago (I am not pregnant) and when my Dr got the results she asked if I thought I had a UTI, I said no...she did a quick test in her office for a UTI and I didn't have one. She said that for some reason some of the tests have been coming back as saying the person has a UTI and they didn't....just an FYI

No, it's from the doctor's office culture.
The weird thing is I haven't been there since January 9th. So they are just picking up on it???

Re: Good and bad news...
When you had a UTI - they gave you pills?
She told me my only option was injections.

I had one detected when I was in all that pain and went to the ER...
I took an antibiotic 3x a day for 10 days. Amoxicillan I think.
Good news on the 3 hour test! Thats so great! you must be relieved!
And I know nothing about the Iron...But it sounds like they can treat it right?

yeah, I took antibiotics for a week (2 pills a day) as far as I read in the instruction they were safe to take for pg women unless you were at the end of your pregnancy I think...
