First Time Of Trying .

Hey everyone .
Like my title says this is mine and my partners first month of trying for a baby .
My bms have been pretty good all the way through to the lead up of trying , I have had the occosional high who doesn't .
But this week I've had random highs I have no explanation for them what so ever , I'm only maybe high for two hours as I always correct them and I'm back down by next bm reading . But it's just annoying me how now I've actually 'tried' I'm getting the highs when this is the time I really don't want them for the all 'incase'
Had a few 9's that's bugged me but these ones has been going up to the 12's .

Hmmpt

Hey jess , Thank you so much for your reply has put my mind at ease a little bit more knowing others experienced this , I am happy as I am managing to get them down back to a good level , it just annoys me when I don't know why it's happening . But hearing from what you have both said it could be that , just shocking as only been the first month of trying , I know it only takes one time , but will be very exciting if this is the case .
If I'm not then it's just diabetes being a pain and needs sorting out again lol!! Yes that's a good idea I shall see how I carry on going then might give her a phone call .
Thank you. x

Hey serenede , Again thank you for replying as I said above it really helps knowing others experience and if I'm not pregnant then it's just going a bit random at times . That is a very good sign that this is also what you experience and you now know the reason why as your expecting . I'm still feeling open minded about it all. As I don't want to get my hopes up , but maybe it's a good sign ( but not because they are high ) hopefully you get what I'm trying to say lol . I've already decided to up my morning and lunch time ratios to try and stop the high ones , which I will start from tomorrow for the last four days I've had one of them highs each day ! . If I don't get my period I can test I think will be around the end of this week beginning of next week .
Thank you. x

Yep I get what your saying! I have had to increase my basal for almost the whole 24 hour period now (on a pump) and my lunchtime ratio has gone up too. You just think your getting it right and then something changes again! Good luck, I hope it's not just D messing you around. If you can hold of testing until your due on then you'll likely get a true result. I tested the day before I was due and was negative but three days later a positive!

Oh really seems a lot of changes going on for you , I normally have to tweak mine every so often for whatever silly reasons , but these highs are just so out the blue and as soon as you see the high your straight away like oh dear ! . That's brilliant information on when to test ect as it does get a bit shall I shan't I but deep down you know there's not going to be enough hcg levels to show up just yet lol .
How many bms are you doing daily now you have got your positive result , and are you managing to keep them with in target .
Sorry a lot of questions there .
Thanks again x

That's brilliant as I've always questioned weather you should check through out the night or not check. But I'm not well as far as I know at the moment at that stage yet so shall see what happens when I get there I guess lol .
That's a good tip regarding eating so you don't get that spike , something to remember and take on board .
Oh really ,
Wow wow wow , I thought I wasn't doing to bad , then I've seen your 7 day average lol wow wow !!
Well done you lol , do you know what your 90 day average is ?

Wow , that is bloody amazing , and yes I can understand when you put that way . I'm still so happy for you and send you all the luck in the world as I did last time.
I was thinking the exact thing you was thinking. So I rang my Dsn and I asked her about them few weeks of not knowing , and she told me to keep to not pregnant targets Untill I get the positive result then as soon as I got that go for the pregnancy targets . And then she explained why ect ect and I can understand that but it's all so worrying as everyone does things differently . I just hope I'm doing ok . But then my partner goes if you wasn't doing ok you wouldn't of got given the go ahead .
At the moment I'm doing 7 bms a day . Before meals 2 hours after meals and then bed time .
My 90 days average is 7.1 a whole 1.0 higher than yours lol .

It's ok , you very welcome , I can't even imagine how terrified you are right now , but your doing so well with readings . and thank you very much on my 90 days .
Well to be fair I would of thought the way you have been doing it is right , I was told that if I had pregnancy targets before I had a baby , I would badly hypo as baby would start to take my sugars , so shouldn't start off to low and should keep them at what I've been advised to .
But it's so hard because everyone is told different by Dsn and then it all gets confusing on what to do lol
x

Yes very true , I thought that everyone would of be given similar answers with in their own diabetes , but definitely not the opposite , it's all strange to me lol . Yeah I think that's brilliant that you already know what works for you and everything is working out well ,
Shall be a waiting game to see if I am or not then probably even more waiting to see what needs adjusting and see what happens from there .
Hopefully things will go ok .

Tried to ring my Dsn this morning and she isn't in today , so I spoke to a member of her team .
I explained whats going on and she said she had no explanation and as there isn't any pattern couldn't really advise anything to me because I'm doing the best I can and I'm correcting and back down by next bm . She said it could be period hormones ( even though I normal go low when period is about ) or could just be my hormones so we shall see lol ! I'm gutted my actual Dsn isn't in , but it's better to talk to someone rather than no one . Has made me feel a bit better about the higher ones and I'm just going to carry on doing what I was doing in the first place .

I no they all say conflicting things! I guess experience tells me my way is right for me but there are people that do go low in early pregnancy. I guess time will tell for you!

Hi, all seems well at the moment thanks. Slightly worried that the sickness hasn't kicked in big time. With my daughter I had HG from 6 weeks until she was born but with the last two pregnancies I had nothing so can't help worrying that it will go wrong again if I'm not sick! Have a scan booked for the 25th when I will be 8+3 so should be plenty to see. Not sure how I will even walk in the room yet I am already terrified :-( How are you?x
