Hi Kelly,
I have been diagnosed as "borderline" type II diabetic, and have been on met for nearly 3 wks now and trying hard with diet & exercise (I think I may have even lost 3 or 4 pds!!) I have been really worried about conceiving, too, coz my gp has told me I really do need to get things under control before getting pg... eg high blood pressure, more exercise & losing some weight.
Yet my dh & I went to re last week and he has put me on primulot n (progesterone) and then to start clomid on the fifth day after af starts to induce ovulation. Now I am scared about falling pg first go, coz I know I will have probs & gp has told me I will almost certainly have gest diabetes or full blown type II so poss needing to inject insulin & be on a total "nazi diabetic diet" as she put it!! It worries me so much that I think if clomid doesn't work first time, I might put it off for a few months to try and work on my health & weight loss.
Thanks for the positive messages from those who have experienced it first hand - at least I know it is achievable, and my gp did say that we could handle it if I get pg sooner than anticipated. Good luck & baby dust!!
