Oh my goodness!! I have had type 1 diabetes for nearly 30 years and 18 months ago, began suffering with a frozen shoulder. I was told that it was due to stress and tension. I still can't lift it up 100%. For the last month, my right shoulder started to feel as though it was going the same way...

Ahh thanks hun!! Absolutely same to you ☺ Yes, 5 rounds has been a bit taxing, but this next one is definitely the last time. If I'm to be perfectly honest, whatever the outcome may be, i now know that I'll be fine with it. I've had 6 years to be angry, devastated, frustrated, emotional (very...

PS - what i should have said above is, that I don't believe diabetes causes infertility directly, but auto immune issues can and do!! Diabetes is caused by an underlying auto immune issue and there are increasing links and research stating that immune issues can/are causing problems in...

Hi soapsuds86 and everyone else!! I am Type 1 Diabetic and have had 5 rounds of IVF!!!! I have had 2 MMC's and 3 failed implantation failures. Like you, when I first started treatment, I trawled the net looking for advice and support relating to diabetes and IVF. Found little or nothing. I can...

Fantastic news hun!! You must be so relieved to hear the heartbeat?! I know we were!! Baby seems to be measuring bang on date?? Was thinking of you earlier but couldn't log on till now as I've been in the cinema watching Jersey Boys. Good film!! We have our second scan tomorrow. I will be...

Oooh I'm excited for you Jess!! Best of luck for Thursday, it will be here in no time!!!! Em xxx

I didn't really bother trying anything hun. I did find that healthy food was doing nothing for me and that carbs always made me feel better. Not ideal but I just went with it and made sure I got enough insulin etc. My blood sugars have come down brilliantly in the last week or so. My average on...

Thanks Jess! I'm getting another scan this Friday, I will be 7wks6days!! Think the ivf clinic could sense my worry!! How far along will you be at your scan?? Re nausea, I was getting it really bad but it seems to have calmed down over the last couple days! Kind of hoping it comes back soon...

Hahaha scimamma, that's hilarious but a fabulous tip!! Have nearly hurled on the dash board of car on route to work a few times now!!!! ;) JessP, scan went fantastic. We saw a heartbeat and it was measuring 6wks6days! Bang on. Got my first apt with my diabetic team a week Weds. Hoping to get...

Thanks kt. I haven’t had to have any treatment on my eyes yet. I just have a check up every 3-6 months!! The Dr does stress how important it is that I tell him as soon as I am pregnant, due to the problems that could arise etc... Hopefully, I may get away with having to have a c-section but if...

Kt, I just saw that you have to have c/s due to retinopathy?! I also have retinopathy, so is it likely that I will have to have a c/s too?? :( hope not, would love to try it au naturelle... Jenny, I have no experience as I am in first trimester of my first pregnancy, but I do know that your...

Goodness me!!!! Fills you with confidence huh....??!! ;) x

Hahaha, sounds like a plan!!! I have come out in a terrible rash on my hip today. It's been itchy for days, but this morning there is a load of nasty red blotches! I'm going to see the Dr about it, just in case, but I'm thinking that it may be hormones??! Jess, I've never been to Scotland...

Jess, I'm with you on the stressing re every lost symptom etc. I am measuring my boobs every day, squeezing them to make sure they hurt, panicking if I'm not gagging when brushing teeth etc etc etc.... I am starting to calm down slightly, having spoken to a few friends who have children and they...

No problem at all Cloe, hope all goes well for you. Best of luck hun, keep us posted on how you get on xx

Cloe, go to the pre conception clinic hun. It's vitally important for you to attend. It was at this clinic where I got support in managing my blood sugars in preparation for pregnancy. They provide advice, guidance and support to diabetics hoping to conceive. Your GP may be a good Dr, but in my...

Oooh Jess, eggs sent me into a right spin at the weekend too. I love them but gonna have to avoid them for a little while.... You are right, the last 5 years has been a nightmare for us, so I'm probably going to be a little more uptight than say my sister (she is 8weeks). However, I'm so so...
