Hi all likeminded T1s.
So a little bit about me.
I'm 27, 28 in 14 days time.
I was diagnosed as being T1 in November last year and at the time my partner and I had been trying for a baby for about 4/5 months with no success.
Obviously with the news of my diagnosis I was swiftly put back on the Pill as a precaution and briefly explained that getting pregnant with poor control was not the way forward and that I would need to think about trying again at some other time. Double Whammy.
Since then, and I realise I'm only a little under 3 months in, I have been doing all I can to try and get mu BGL under control in the hopes that I can get back on track with life but also with TTC.
A meeting with my consultant over Xmas was very positive and she felt that if my BGLs were to continue in the track that I had achieved so far she would have no issues with me TTC in say the spring.
I wouldn't say I am in a hurry, but my partner and I have been thinking about taking this step on and off for the last 3 years or so and it has never seemed the right time, and now this just feels like another setback.
Am conscious of my age and wanting so badly to have a baby, but also that I want my BGL to be under good control before we get to that stage.
Has anyone, newly diagnosed or not been in this position.
Ideally I am looking for friends and support from anyone fairly newly diagnosed who shares my concerns overall as a newly diagnosed diabetic, but also people that are also in my dilemma with regards to wanting to start a family.
I only know a couple of diabetics and they are both male, so a little difficult to talk to them about this, and as much as family and friends have been supportive, and they have been great, I don't think they can fully understand what it's like to live with something that you have to be thinking about day in and day out.
Many Thanks all for taking the time to read.
