Hi All
apologies in advance, I'm not after specific advice ref diabetes and pregnancy, more to have a rant.
In fact, I'm not even at the end of the 2 week wait yet - that is Friday. We've undergone 2 rounds of IVF, and had an embryo transfer last Monday. So have worked long and hard at potential baby.
Had to wait several years to start trying due to unstable retinopathy. Then needed to settle onto the pump. Finally got the go ahead. Turns out hubby has problems........ Got treated with IVY very quickly in the scheme of things, but I don't think the OH really got how tough it was physically and emotionally.
Have been trying to maintain perfect BG for over 2 year (HbA1c currently 5.5). Which, as you all know, is hard bloomin' work. Add normal pregnancy worries on top of that.
In most ways OH is a diamond. He can test BG, carb counts dinner if he is making it etc etc. So here comes the seemingly petty part.................
We're in our mid-thirties, so have been used to a particular lifestyle. Of course, I am doing whatever I need to to try and achieve the best outcome. But I do like a glass of wine. So, I won't lie and say going teetotal has been easy. It hasn't! I am also not an unreasonable person, so am quite happy for OH to pop to the pup for a pint after work, and to see friends at the weekend. However................ Friday night (usual night out) - 'I will be home with some dinner by 7.30 - home at 8.40'. Saturday afternoon - 'Will be back by 4 with the stuff for dinner. 5.30'. Announces last night that he would like to go to meet a friend to watch cricket final. I smiled through gritted teeth. Match starts at 2.30, for approx 3 hours. He decamps to the pub at 1.30.
My parting words were 'well, perhaps see you at some point this weekend'. I then treated myself to a nice cup of decaff coffee...........
I fear I am turning into the harridan-from-hell. He had done all hoovering and cleaned bathroom prior to going out today. What has happened to me????
Am battling at the moment with massively raised BG due to the progesterone supplements. Also have a cold - no fun without Lemsip, is it?. Feel like I am fighting a losing battle. Woke up this morning at 17.5. I give up.............
