Hi all,
Very new here so thanks in advance for your support. I'm Type 1, diagnosed in 2002, now aged 30. My partner and I are trying for our first baby. I have been using the omnipod patch pump system since December and have seen a dramatic improvement in my sugars (HbA1c has come down from 64 to 52 in that time).
I had my contraception - a Mirena coil - taken out about 4 weeks ago. I've not yet had a period (the coil stopped mine entirely) although there was a little bleeding the few days after it was removed. For the last couple of months I've had really brilliant control - the odd 11 or 12 but rarely anything higher (and usually I know why if it does happen) but in the last couple of days my sugars have been consistently higher and the normal carb ratios I use don't seem to be working. I also feel very tired and I swear my boobs are bigger (but possibly I just want them to be!!) I took a HPT this morning and it was negative.
Would be interested to hear from people who've experienced dramatic changes in insulin requirements in early pregnancy and/or following the removal of a hormonal coil...
Cheers!!
