Wish us luck – it’s just about O-time (go-time) this month! I really, really have my fingers crossed that we’ll succeed this time.
Because otherwise I have to start kicking the ivf process into motion – which will require travel, as the closest one to us has really low success rates. And since my type 1 diagnosis was just last December, I’m just… really reticent to medicalize my life even more. I just don’t want to deal. I hope someone can sympathize.
So, as they say on the TTC message boards, shower us with baby dust! Let the fun begin.
Good luck!
And to give you some extra hope on it happening naturally: My husband and I had been trying for like a year and a half before I got diagnosed. I was starting to worry. Then we had to stop when we found out I had T1 D and we couldn’t start trying again until my endo felt my blood sugar was good enough stable enough… and we got pregnant the very first month we started trying again!!!
I’m sure the immediate success was largely luck, but I do believe that I just wasn’t healthy enough to conceive before diagnosis. My body knew that and eitehr didn’t ovulate or otherwise just didn’t allow it to happen. Then once I was healthy enough, my body let it to happen!
Thanks, lizzistardust! That’s what I’m hoping too. We tried for about 3 months before dx, and then stopped trying 'til I got my A1c down. This is only our second month of real, full-on trying since. And I, too, think that the main problem was that my blood sugars were way out of whack, and my thyroid was also sputtering out. My doctors have said the same! So, thanks for the hope – I’m glad to know I’m not alone!
