It only (haha...nothing only about it) took 5 months for my cycles to fully return to normal after getting my Mirena IUD out. Yay me...NOT! That means I'm back to bleeding like the proverbial stuck pig once a month. Guess its nice though to know my cycles are still like clockwork and I'm ovulating right when I should be.
I wish I had more or better or even different news on the baby making front but it ain't so. Life has conspired against us so far. We've been too busy trying to get Vic's diabetes regulated to worry too much about baby making. Did you know people with *Type 2 diabetes can convert and become Type 1 diabetics? I wasn't really aware of that but that's what happened to Vic. It explains why all of a sudden his meds weren't doing what they should do. Oral meds for Type 2 diabetics are designed to work with the insulin your body produces (but that you are resistant to) and, all of a sudden, he wasn't making insulin anymore. Blood sugar that is yo-yoing all over the place has a tendency to wear you out physically and mentally. I hope it stabilizes soon.
*Endocrinologists don't even use the terms Type 1 or Type 2 anymore. They just refer to insulin dependent and insulin resistant diabetics.

Gosh, that does not sound like fun, good luck to Vic, hope he starts to feel better soon.
Yikes... good luck on all fronts!
I did not know that about diabetes, so strange. Best wishes on all fronts!
Yes - please get him straightened out, then keep us informed about the baby making..well not the actual baby making part..you know.
I didn't know that about diabetes. I hope Vic's situation is stabilized soon! YAY for your regular cycles and boooooo to the monthly bleeding.
Yep, you are right. Does this mean Vic is now injecting himself daily? That sucks! If you must inject, I am a big fan of long-acting Lantus...
