[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 364545, member: 16982"] Hi. I used to not look after myself. I'm now on my second pregnancy. You need to get your hba1c down before you try to conceive, as a high hba1c can cause birth defects or miscarriage, but once you get it down you should be ok. I got worsening retinopathy due to dropping my blood sugars too fast/pregnancy hormones, so that's one to watch out for, but I had a lot of laser and it has now stabilised with no more signs of it, and I got the all clear to have a second pregnancy. I think if you have any other complications such as kidneys or circulation this may affect how well you cope with a pregnancy, do you have complications? Otherwise you will probably be ok so long as you get things under control before you try to conceive. Not heard of badly controlled diabetes affecting the ovaries. I didn't look after myself for 20 years and my pregnancies were fine, apart from the retinopathy I've been fine with no other complications, so it needn't mean you can't get pregnant. Good luck [/QUOTE]
