Hi there ,
I was diagnosed Type 1 when I was having my son who is now 3 (tomorrow).
I had a c section and since then I have had awful periods, heavy and long (sometimes 14 days!).
Also had a few times of spotting around ovulation.
This month my period is 14 days and towards the end very gunky and brown, almost like when you start your periods.
I had bloods tests / smear / internal camera last August and everything came back normal.
My question is are there any other type 1s out there that suffer with periods like this?
I'm 35 in March and I'm wondering if I'm peri-menopausal? I've read alot about type 1 women going into menopause early?
I am due to see my Doctor next week as my iron was low on my last HB1ac test so they want to do more blood work. Would be nice to hear from anyone who has/does suffer the same please.
Thank you in advance x
