☹ Keeping our fingers crossed for you. My 12-yr-old T1D son has thyroid antibodies, so will likely face this challenge eventually (Hashimoto’s?).

Love to see how you write this! Relationships with endos/ PCPs are a bit of a sore spot for many of us here.

Great! You are luckier than us. We don’t have anyone here (we live in the country).

It just occurs to me that there is an interesting question on pregnancy prep right now: [https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/what-did-you-do-differently-when-trying-for-pregnancy/908](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/what-did-you-do-differently-when-trying-for-pregnancy/908). Maybe you’d consider giving your thoughts?

Welcome to FUDiabetes!
