Hi All, happily our third attempt at IVF has resulted in our second pregnancy (3 attempts in total, many lost embryos, one gorgeous 2 and a half year old DD)

But oh, how I'd forgotten that my last pregnancy was like a 9-month trip to the land of uncertainty and worry with each new complication! I'm 8.5 weeks now and had a dating scan at 7.5 weeks. We had two embryos put in, but only 1 sac and 1 baby showed clearly on u/s. The sonographer was pretty certain there was only one although said it's possible, but unlikely, that a second can show up on a later scan.

So, the good news, 1 definite baby with a strong heartbeat. The not so good news is that the embryo has implanted in the top right corner of the uterus, apparently close to where the tube meets the uterus which 'could be of concern'. The fertility specialist said try not to stress but I'll need a follow up u/s in another week or two. We would have loved twins, but we will still be very grateful for one healthy bubba that's in the right place. I can't find much information on the web about implantation in that spot... I just find lots of info on ectopics and cornual pregnancies, and I haven't been diagnosed with either of those so far. Can anyone shed some light on this?

So that's one issue. The other is whether the 7 week scan was right in confirming only one foetus and not two..? Since 4 weeks on, I've felt and looked big, and had to start wearing maternity pants right away. At first I put this down to having enlarged ovaries from the IVF stimulation but I feel constant pelvic pressure which I didn't get until mid to late 2nd trimester with my first pregnancy (which was also IVF... so ovaries were enlarged then too). Lots of people have commented on how I'm showing already. In addition, I've had bad constipation, frequent episodes of breathlessness (pretty strong, and often when resting) and blocked hearing since week 4. I read somewhere that this can be due to very high levels of progesterone which I think can be suggestive of twins amongst other things (?) but when I research breathlessness in pregnancy, most sources say it should be mild and improve fairly quickly. Mine has gotten worse in the past month. My beta-hcg was high when tested at 4 weeks but it hasn't been checked since. Also (and I know this probably sounds crazy), I dreamed at 5 weeks that the ultrasound showed two distinct bubs. I maybe wouldn't have taken that as a sign except in my first pregnancy at about 5 or 6 weeks, I dreamed that I gave birth to a girl, and met her, and when our DD was actually born, she looked just like the baby from my dream. So I guess when I had this twin dream, I kind of believed it, iykwim?

I don't know what to think. For the most part I suppose I'm trying not to... but sometimes I get worried. I've had light spotting on and off since 5 weeks... my worst case scenario I guess at this point would be to find out we do have two babies, with one ectopic in the tube which was why it wasn't seen on u/s, and the other in the top corner. That, or finding out that the one we do have isn't viable where it is. I'm seeing the OB tomorrow after asking for an earlier first appointment... I'm really hoping he can help to alleviate my worried mind

Thanks for reading my ramble.. would love anyone's thoughts if you're able to share....
