Hello, don't apologise for the rant it's what we are here for!
How far off your targets are you atm (if you don't mind me asking) ? Tbh, I had quite a few lows and think they pulled it down a bit, not much mind but will have contributed some what. How restricted is your daily carb intake atm? To get my sugars to be in check I really had to look at what I was eating and how they were affecting my sugars, especially at times I wouldn't normally test at.
I was told I could start or wait, but as hba1c was 46 we tried and succeeded. It's really a personal choice whether you believe your sugars are well enough controlled for you to not be stressed or worried at that point - they will change so much during pregnancy anyway at each of the diff stages, worrying and stressing is about all I do haha. I was told I could get them as perfect as possible before but once pregnant my hard work will be tested constantly. Boy have I found that out, sugars haven't been as good as I would like but hey, I am trying, the majority of the time they are good.
Don't take what others tell you about their perfect sugars as complete truth and make them put you off, as I say mine aren't completely perfect but my nurses and consultant are happy they are good enough for a healthy pregnancy. I think we always criticise ourselves more! Your consultant wouldn't say go if she didn't think you were at an appropriate place.
I am excited, and nervous. Just hope all is well, the scan will show if it is... fingers crossed.
Whatever you decide to do I hope it goes well for you!
only you can make the choice as to when you are comfortable to start trying. Xx
