[QUOTE="emmarees26, post: 919852, member: 59163"] 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 honestly say that I feel like a pro when it comes to managing diabetes and IVF now though. hahaha. In relation to diabetes and infertility being linked, i feel that it could be related for some and not for others... Although my Dr's say no, I always felt that it was my immune system letting me down, so off my own back, I booked in for a test known as 'The Chicago test'. It is all relating to Immune Sytem issues and NK Cells. It is quite controversial and the NHS haven't come around to the idea yet, buuuut, my results came back as having elevated NK cells and this is what is causing my MMC's and implantation failure (no surprise there really, it was my faulty immune system that attacked my pancreas when I was 6, so why wouldn't it be attacking my embryo's?? Especially with hubby's DNA to contend with on top...) As a result of these tests, we are trying 1 last round of IVF, with immune support, so watch this space..... Em xx [/QUOTE]
