Wow didn't expect to drop this much ...

Since coming off the pill , I have experienced more hypos which I was told I might experience . Since being due and on now finished !!
What the hell is going on I've been hypoing so much , I've dropped ratios background insulin . I'm on lower amounts of insulin now and it's still lowering . I used to get hypos when I was on my period ect , now I've came off my pill it was worse .
Even more lowering to be done tonight and tomorrow . I know what I'm doing with my insulin it's just wow unexpected of how much I'm actually having to decrease it by . I would understand if I was pregnant and in my first trimester but wow . Just didn't expect it would drop this dramatically eeeh !! All because the pill .
I am slowly getting there now but wow been an eventful week .

On the plus side before the hypos had started I went for my hba1c , if all is well and I've kept a low hba1c And sort my hypos out I shall be trying eeek .
I was giving the go ahead in July but wanted to be on folic acid a tad bit longer .
So fingers cross for my hba1c .

Rant and excitement hahaha !!!

I know so I'm guessing the pill had upped my insulin been on it for a few years now so never payed attention as was all my normal insulin intake . as when I had my week free pill I would drop , so asked the nurses , and I was told it was something with in the pill but I can't remember what it was she said . Just amazed me at how it's all worked out as like you said I never would of guessed it would of made this much of a difference .
When the times right will have a big think on weather to go back on to this as it will just shoot my readings up again but that's a long way off yet lol !! it's all crazy haha .
It might not happen to everyone but yeah that's my experience with it all so far and i was on the pill cilest .

Thank you so much , when I find out I shall let you know fingers crossed hehe
Take care .

Well done on the great HbA1c! I had the exact same problem when coming off the pill and still go low during my period now. I'm glad I came off the pill 3 months before we started trying with our 1st child as my control went out of the window. It does improve though and I wouldn't go back on the pill now either!

Thank you so much for replying with this , has made me feel loads better that others have experienced this too . Yeah that's what I thought with how much insulin I was on to what I'm on now with it still lowering , finally today I've not hypoed and I didn't last night either so cracked it for today haha !!
If you don't mind me asking what did you chose to use for contraception ?

And thank you so much , I'm very happy with it hehe

Oh I see , sounds very painful you must of been in a lot of discomfort . It will be a tricky decision but I guess it's a long way off as of now , got the whole journey in front of us yet lol , was just very shocked at what the pill can do !!

Congratulations on your first pregnancy by the way . And I'm so sorry to hear about that . Must of been a horrible time .

What is your current hba1c .
Wishing you loads of luck for conceiving and throughout pregnancy with baby no 2 .

I can't even begin to imagine what you have gone through . But you sound a very strong women as your still trying now which I think is great .
It's tragic what you have gone through , but it is brilliant with what your hba1c is and also what the doctors have told you aswell , that there is no possible way you can blame yourself and you know your doing all you can because your hba1c is fab !!
I can imagine the fear you have going through you , as like you said it's happened twice but you have also had a healthy baby . I really hope your time will come with what you've gone through you really deserve it .
Best wishes
