  I don't know if this pregnancy is twins or not, I will find out next Friday, but with my twin pregnancy I went to a regular OB. Since I was blessed to not have any complications my OB was completely capable and didn't feel a new to transfer me to any sort of specialist.

  My RE told me to schedule with my regular OBGYN when I graduate after next week so that's the plan for now.

  DX: Anovulation
  TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
  IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
  Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771

  I'm seeing my regular OBGYN who's dealt with twins before but I will be seeing an MFM for extra screenings and u/s.  I don't believe that MFM's deliver...?

  I'm in a unique situation I guess...

  I've decided to drop my GYN from being my OB and start seeing a CNM.  There is a CNM practice in my city that delivers at a hospital with a Level III NICU as well as a birthing 'wing' that acts as a birthing center but is in a hospital - best of both worlds IMO.

  The CNM practice is partnered with a Perinatologist that they have patients see if they are having multiples and/or have needs that require additional care (e.g., endocrine disorders).  This Perinatologist is also a licensed OB and is on call 24/7 for C-section for the CNM practice in case of an emergency.

  All that being said, I will be meeting with both my CNM and the Perinatologist/OB.

  That's interesting!  What is a CNM?

  I was told I had to see both. So I have an OB and a MFM.

  Not sure if the designation it is unique to my area or not, but... Certified Nurse Midwife.

  I'm hoping to have a natural birth but am preparing myself for a possible C-section.  I feel like I'll be in great hands for whatever L&D brings my way
