Hi.... re your blood sugars, I'm not sure what clomid actually does - but generally estrogen makes us more insulin sensitive and progesterone more insulin resistant - which is why, generally, as women we can see big swings in the amount of insulin we need depending on where in our cycle we are...

Haha - thanks ladies! And @azure - how funny - yesterday I had such a strong craving for crumpets I went out and bought a packet!! : D @mohola - yes - and marmalade!!! I didn't eat these things before I was pregnant... this baby clearly loves carbs...! [emoji23] .... good to hear it fades...

... just as my topic / post headline says really --- getting a bit ridiculous now though - did anyone else experience this? Does is calm down after the first trimester...?? I normally eat pretty healthily - medium carb - between 90 to 120g per day, and low GI -- but right now it's only pasta...

Oh - that's so interesting... I use sure-T's (the steel sets) and last week, between dinner and 'pudding', I felt it move... I feel them do this quite often - cos they're steel, I didn't really think much of it - it's seemed to settle back into place and that was that... Anyway, then bolused for...

@marie85 please don't worry about the drinks... Nearly all my friends have had babies (I'm in my late thirties - so most of them have gotten on with it by now!;) -- and nearly every single one of them worried about the fact they'd had drinks before they knew they were pregnant - a couple got...

Hi @Sammorgan16 and @marie85- aw how lovely, congrats! [emoji4] I will be 8wks on Monday - but my appointment was last Tuesday and I was 7wks 2days... My first appointment was at 5wks and I did end up having an internal scan then (I wasn't meant to - but I had a bit of a blub as a friend had...

Oh sweetheart - what a little trooper!! I've only recently rejoined the forum so I haven't completely caught up on your journey but it sounds as if you've both had a bit of a bouncy time... ... he's absolutely gorgeous - sending you both all good thoughts. Hope you're able to get some rest in...

Aw thank you! It so is!! Hubby nearly shed a tear...! I was just so relived I couldn't stop grinning [emoji2]x

Aw bless you - I agree with the others that they'll be recommending it's not used in pregnancy as blood sugars are so much more erratic - not because it will harm baby in any way. I'm just a couple of weeks ahead from you (will be 8wks on Monday) - and I can *totally* empathize! Please don't...

... Today was my first scan - and I saw baby's heartbeat! It was sooooo reassuring to see :) She may just be a bit of a blob at the moment - but she's my lovely little blob... [emoji2][emoji176]

@Pitsgate - ah that's interesting about central nervous system... It definitely didn't feel like it was in my control... My lovely husband was trying to talk to me and I couldn't even reply :( Still - liking the relaxation plan to counteract it too [emoji4] x

@azure - hahahahahha - laughing at the use of my 'special time' --- it certainly felt very special...! [emoji38] --- and again, really reassuring to know it's a sign my body is making the right hormones... Because I'm a little 'older' (39), plus it's taken us two years to conceive, I've started...

Ah thank you @azure [emoji4][emoji175] --- I think I actually need to massively extend my evening bolus... As I had a similar (but much milder) thing happen the night before last too - it's like my evening meals aren't bothering to show up till a couple of hours later?? Weird as though my...

Ah thank you @Pitsgate -- that's really reassuring [emoji175] ... Yes it was the stress / adrenaline that I was most worried about... Only because my body was shaking/convulsing sooooo badly for about 45mins afterwards - it was really awful - I can't imagine what that must feel like to such a...

Hello... Last night I had a really bad drop in blood sugar at dinner time... I had 50g carbs, bolused some up front and some over the next 30 mins - and approx 45mins after eating my blood sugars just plummeted. It was as if I'd bolused but not eaten :( My evening insulin/carb ratio is 1:15 so...

Thank you! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

Aw - thank you Martin :) We've only told my mum so far, who cried... I know my dad will be even worse when we tell him though [emoji1] It is a really wonderful feeling... :)

Aw what a cutie!!! Congrats back at you! [emoji7] ... Not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous about keeping numbers in range - especially as I know from reading others experiences that ratios etc can change loads... So that's super reassuring it wasn't totally terrible - and yes - will all be soooo...

Hahahahaha!! Brilliant! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I can only imagine -- perhaps we'll keep stchum for a bit longer than required...! [emoji6]
