Hello, I am unsure about getting pregnant, I do want to try but the thought is terrifying.
I've only been diagnosed 2 and a half years roughly, but I'm about to turn 38 and the biology clock is screaming at me.
Since I was in my early 20s I got the coil and have had it in since a month ago because it ran out. Discussion with my partner led us to decide on leaving it out and just using good old condoms, and if accident happens then fine.
But I'm worried about my health and effects of my health on the baby growing. I have had B12 anemia and only just getting my strength back.
I could speak to my GP but they're either flippant or just seem to say contradictions, diabetic team is no better.
Honestly the GP told me my symptoms were not related to my B12, so did other tests, tests came back normal, same GP says that actually the symptoms can be from B12 .
Anyway, really just hoping for some advice maybe, at the end of the day I might be unable to get pregnant and then that'll be that, decision made... Time for a dog... Or adopting.
Just really scared and unsure of this decision to put my body through.
Thanks for reading ☺️ x
