Green Light!

Green for GO!

Most women don't need a doctor or a nurse to tell them that yes you can go and try for a baby, you got the green light!

Well I needed to get the green light as I have type 1 diabetes and an underactive thyroid, so I needed to be sure that my health was in good shape, that it would be safe for me to try and get pregnant!
Some type one Diabetic's don't wait for this green light, they go on a get pregnant sometimes with high A1C's and have gorgeous healthy babies, which is fine it's up to the person if they want to wait or not! Sometime's the waiting was getting me down but me and Mr. decided it was best to wait.
In Nov '08 we decided to start planning for a baby and get my health in a good place and we did but life got in the way, but 2 years later we got the Green light!!!! Thank god it has been a very long wait but I'm so over the moon!! I realize now that I need to keep working hard with my Diabetes, keep going! Wooohoooo!

My A1C is 6.1%! Delighted, It is very hard work and I don't have a pump never have, I am a MDI kinda girl, which works for me and I'm so happy that I'm so near to 6.0%, I was looking up what my avg blood sugar is with a A1C of 6.1%, well it says 7.8 is my avg BS!! Very good!  www.healthy-ojas.com
So I'm over the moon, Thank god!

New start?

June '10, 1st app in Dublin to help me get good control of my Diabetes and  see what my a1c is.

Met with a lovely kind nurse and she talked away to me about where I need to get my A1c to, asked about my thyroid,
I'm taking 100mg at the moment, good good!
What was you're last a1c? 7.1
We will take some blood today and see what it is when it comes back, ok?
Ok!? (hope it is better than the last time!)
She told me before we (Me & Mr.) can start trying for a wee baby, that I need to get 3 good A1c's in a row before we get the green light!
3 3 3 yes 3 ducks in a row!!!!
Aswell as having my underactive thyroid in good range, can it be done? I'll try my best!
We talked about other thing's but thats what we have to do! fun times!

Jealous??!!!

In Jan '10, I said goodbye to my Dad, a week later our good friends told us they were expecting their 1st baby in July, My gut twisted , "Why them why not us", " why do we have such a hard time???" I was very peeed off! (I was missing my Dad and I was lost!!!)  But over the moon for them, so excited for the 2 of them!! really was just peeed of with our situation! So I slowly started to get my blood sugar in range and tried so hard!
April '10 my A1c is 7.1 not too bad after the time I've had! My thyroid is good too, thank god! A month sooner we were told that my Brother and wife are expecting their 2nd baby in sept. That was another knife in the gut, but I kept working at my Blood sugar's  and hoping that our day will come! Hopefully?

A bit about me,

I got the big D in Aug 2003, I was 21 nice birthday pressie! lol. I had met my Hubby in April of that year and he was great when my health went haywire ( well it was haywire before that but when the Dr. told me that I had type 1 D) my man was great, he was there for me, he is great!!!! Love him. x
So I have D, I also have underactive thyroid which I found out in Nov 2008, which is the same month that we decided to start thinking of starting a family. I started taking Eltroxin tablets for the thyroid and waited for that to work ( I was waiting along time), so anyway what was my A1c: in march 2008 it was 6.5 woohoo and in nov '08 it was 6.2!!!! In Jan '09 it was 5.4, 5.4!!! Never seen that number again! Still waiting for the thyroid to get better. In Feb '09 I started to get alot of pain on my right side, it felt like period pain so I didn't pass much remarks on it, but then the pain was getting worse so I headed to the Dr. and she sent me to A&E, so after how many hours, they admitted me and I was there for nearly 2 weeks, they couldn't find out what was wrong with me!
Well it turned out to be my appendix, so got the operation done, couple of days later got home, back home to my dogs and my man!
A month later I found a lump just at my scar, some time went by and I went to Dr. and long story short I had a hernia!! So in Nov 2009 I go in to get that repaired! My A1c in the summertime was: 8.1 and in Nov '09 it was 6.7!! Back on track! But not for long..............
