Ladies with Type 1

How long were you TTC before you became pregnant?

Right now we are not trying (i'm not charting or taking my temp or anything) but not really preventing either.  We'll start really trying in January.

    Good to hear!  My OB said 3-5 months is normal, which is the normal range for every woman. 

    I'm glad I'm giving myself a few cycles to get to know my body again after being on the pill for 14+ years.  If something happens between now and January, great.  But if not, it's game on then!

    My BGs are pretty good - average about 130.  I have a CGM and have my range set to 70-150 so I try to catch highs relatively quickly.  I've been running high overnight the past few nights so I need to make some adjustments there.

    I was on BCP for 8 years, and just had my BFP test after only two cycles of being off the pill. I made an appt with my endo for tomorrow, and have an ultrasound next Tuesday (LMP doesn't match when I got BFP). I also have the CGM, and have the alarm set for 80-200... I'm going to lower that high number now though. We're so happy it only took two cycles, but I never thought type 1 would make it harder. Good luck!!!

    Congrats, kks4471!!! 

    FWIW, I gradually lowered my high alert by 10.  I'd lower it, keep it there for 2 - 3 weeks and lower again.  Obviously you may want to be more aggressive since you are pregnant, but it worked well for me!

    Oh, I know it doesn't make a difference with our chances.  I was just curious.  :o)

    Thanks!  My only concern/rush/reason that I want it to happen quickly is that I'm going to be 33 soon and we'd like more than one.  So hopefully we hit a grand slam within the first few months, but if not, we'll take it from there.

    With my first pregnancy (ended with a miscarriage) & with my daughter, it was the first month. With this pregnancy, it took 7 months. We actually quit trying so that I wouldn't have a Christmas baby...I'm due December 23rd. Go figure! (But still incredibly excited for another little princess!)

    I got pregnant the first time we tried. We were thinking about it and talking about so about 6-9 months before I actually conceived, I made sure my blood sugars were in control and was starting to lose weight. I actually thought I might need help conceiving because my periods are very irregular. My doctor had prescribed Clomid and I took it in Oct, Nov and Feb. Then I was off it and I started to lose weight in April and next thing I know in May I had conceived naturally. I was worried to as I was 34 and we wanted to have more than one as well.
