UTD after fertility issues

Mellow you sound like how I felt - know how to get utd but actually being utd totally uncharted territory lol. Stay positive. Given my current situation I'll just say relish and enjoy this wonderful time and try not to worry about what's to come. Wishing so much luck hun.

Just having a bit of a freak out moment. I seem to be having a lot of cramping which is quite painful (keeling over stuff). I had it last night but then went to the toilet which seemed to relieve it and again this morning while I was sitting at my desk. It only last for a few minutes but I'm not sure if it is the baby/uterus doing its thing or if it's just gas. Whatever it is, its making me very anxious. Has anyone else had this?

Good luck today BC, what time is your scan?

Scan is 3:30. Am over the worry just want to know and move on. Thanks for the thoughts.

Hey girls looks like I'll be leaving this thread for now. Sadly things haven't changed and the twinies aren't meant to be. Thanks for all your support and good wishes xxx

Oh BC, what a long and awful journey. Have been obsessively refreshing waiting for your news and so wish it was different for you. I sincerely hope that you are back here as soon as you're ready but in the meantime know that we are thinking of you loads.

BC - Big hugs sweetheart. Really was hoping for a better outcome xx

Hi AA. Glad you are starting to feel a bit better now. I'm doing really good although my nausea is just starting, but not too bad so far - just feeling a bit blah. Had my 3rd blood result today and they have risen to 23,000. DH is freaking out that there could be twins in there but I have reassured him that the level is quite normal. I guess it is possible though, but I'm not telling him that. I have my 8 week scan on the 16th July, can't wait. Do you know - is this a vaginal scan or over the tummy? I'm so used to the vaginal scans, I guess I'm assuming it will be that.

Another question - should I start ringing around midwives? I know I am still under FA until the 8 week mark but I also know how quickly the GOOD midwives get snapped up. What did you do? We talked about going with a private OB but to be honest, I kinda want to feel like a normal person going through a midwife rather than under another specialist. I don't really know where to start looking for a midwife though, but I have searched through a few forums looking for recommendations, so hopefully I can find a good one.

Anyway, hope you are all having a good day and I too wish there were more of us in here. There are so many couples, like us, struggling with fertility issues, I wish everyone could be on this side for a change.

Hi Mellow. Probably depends a bit on what you do. My scan was at 7 weeks so definitely transvaginal, too small for abdominal scan. At that point I was discharged and told to find a midwife/obstetrician. I too wanted a midwife and for things to be as normal a possible. Met my midwife at 9 weeks, she gave me scan and blood forms but your GP can do that if you go there. Also, I am due on new year's day and there were quite a few midwives not available then. I got suggestions from friends (but was a bit tricky - told them it was for a colleague at work! But also looked at findyourmidwife (google it), which is a great resource. Good luck!

Hi all. We're all a month ahead of where we were after the last post. Mrs I, you're nearly there! I'm heading towards half way and definitely bumping out (as well as bum and thighs and boobs!) Really hoping there are more who can join us in here soon. How are you all???
