Any other moms out there TTC while having MTHFR? Anyone have any tips for me? I was recently diagnosed - less than a week ago - with it. Still waiting for the specialist to give me a call with my scheduled appointment to see what they say I should do, but still looking for others who have this.

I am in complete confusion right now. I am 29 years of age. i'm 100% healthy same as my husband. My husband and I have finally decided to make baby love. So we had unprotected sex, and the following morning I had cramps in my stomach- I ignored it. These cramps have now lasted for 15 days straight around my middle section of my tummy and sharp odd pains on my right side tummy. On day 9 I was awoken by cramps in my feet. I have not felt dizziness, or vomiting. My period has not come yet. I should be expecting it by the end of this week. My period is pretty regular and only lasts for 4 days only. I would like to know: Am I feeling very early signs of pregnancy?? are these possible signs that have happened to women and they have later found out they are pregnant? Any help would be appreciated! :) Kind regards, Bloated and confused,
