[QUOTE="azure, post: 846672, member: 39639"] The one I found worst was the pill! I'd never taken it before so had no idea it could mess with blood sugars. I was also on progesterone but it's hard to know how much that affected my sugars. I think it put them up, but, as I got pregnant it could have been that. I don't know if there's any info about what drugs could cause what blood sugar effect. I tended to react to what was happening and didn't really Google as I knew pregnancy would have an effect too. I found the early weeks hard and got paranoid about some high blood sugars. I thought they'd ruin everything and I was so upset and frustrated. But they didn't : ) Ten hypos is a lot. Did you find any cause? I found that at certain times of the day, my blood sugar would stay madly low and I'd be constantly having glucose to keep my sugars up. I also had to adjust some of my insulin to carbs ratios. Sometimes I also ate a small snack after a meal to keep my blood sugars up at certain times. I also did lots of correction doses to keep my blood sugar down if it was spiking after a meal. Your HbA1C sounds very good : ) Unless your sugars were badly out of control, I doubt they'd be affecting the IVF success rates. Remember non-diabetic people can struggle too, so I think your consultant is right. I was told that if I had a high to not panic and just get it down as soon as I could, which is what I did. I also practically doubled the amount of tests I did a day, and added in night tests too. I found I had to watch my sugars constantly rather than rely on them being fine like I'd normally do. It was hard at work so if you're able to get time off, then it might be beneficial anyway. IVF is stressful enough without having work too. I took time off for approx two weeks and I feel I benefitted from that as i was more relaxed and could concentrate on myself. [/QUOTE]
