Hello, I've had diabetes since I was a baby and now i am 24 years old. I never had this before. I started the pump again after 8 years, I've been using it now for 2 months and now I am late.

retest in probably two days? and if negative, retest two days after that. Unless you get it before.

and then, providing it returns (it will as long as the tests are negative.... eventually, probably when you least want it to), get to ob/gyn and talk about contraceptives. oral contraceptives are fine providing you take it every day although if you are particularly forgetful, opt for either a iud, nexplan or depo (the shot).

Hi, i had contraceptive for a long time, I started the pill as third contraceptive and started to get blind because of it. We usually do it very save, but bf didn't know you can still get preggo if you are at the end of menstruating. I told him and he was like oh shit. I mean it is not very unwanted. Its not smart though

I fell pregnant on the pill! Sometimes our bodies just hate us! Sperm can live inside the female reproductive system from 5-7 days and in rare cases up to 27 days!

Are you also t1d? Because if not now I eventually want kids, its always in the back of my head about the health issues it can cause the baby

I’m a T2 but my dad and older siblings are LADA (so I might be Lada too yet).

I did have Gestational Diabetes though.

If you do end up being pregnant, and you want to keep it I hope everything goes smoothly for you 💖

If you tested twice and both negative, I wouldn't worry too much, pregnancy tests are very reliable these days (though I have no idea what 'didn't exactly do it very safe' means, so maybe test again in a few days if it's not coming).

By the way, now that you say it, mine was also late last month when I got my pump, however, my cycle is often messed up so I don't know if there is really a connection.
