[QUOTE="VKM40, post: 1444768, member: 396283"] Thanks [USER=39639]@azure[/USER], Wonderful to hear you have three! Amazing. Well done. Have you been type 1 for a similar length of time too? With similar hba1c before pregnancy? Great to hear from others and read other posts. Lots of different experiences. It's mainly personal stories i'm interested in over medical information, I feel quite up to date with that, but brilliant to find people here. Yes there is good representation of type 1s in this group, but my consultants told me the majority of diabetic pregnancies are gestational. Which leaves me wondering about the overall statistics if we're all grouped together. I consider myself after this amount of time to be well tuned and knowledgable about t1, with good control, doctors always seem pleased, but with 29 years of having it, even with good control, there have been spells of not so good, and complications still arise even with good control after this length of time of having it. Retinopathy for example. But all in all I'm in good shape. The idea of pregnancy for me, doesn't come as easily, maybe because of the length of time i've been diabetic, combined with being slightly older (but still young) :-) I want to embrace and enjoy pregnancy without so much worry, exhaustion or any risk to me or baby. Yeah I'm on folic acid, been seen by diabetic pre-conception for about a year and also been seen by fertility, the advice is IVF, which we will decide upon in the coming months if nothing happens. Or proceed with adoption. Bye for now, and thanks again [/QUOTE]
