No idea of my due date. Frustrated!

afifirechick · Mar 28th, 2012, 22:42 PM

So I've always been irregular, but its been increasingly irregular for the last year or so. The last distance between periods was about 7 weeks. My last period was December 21, so given that, my due date is September 28. But I don't feel that I'm that far along. I was supposed to go see the wellness nurse on Monday and the OB on Tuesday. Well I can still see the wellness nurse but they pushed back the OB appointment another week so I can't even get in until the 10th for my first appointment. I'm hoping they do an ultrasound so I'm not stuck wondering longer.

Until then every little twinge or cramp I'm freaking out.

When did you get your positive test? Was it light or dark? xx

I took a HPT on Saturday and its the pic as my profile pic. Here:

I went to the doctor's office on Monday to confirm, but it was just the local clinic and we don't have an OB on staff or a U/S machine. So here's the test from the office visit:

I don't know, with those lines I would think you are earlier as well. That's what mine looked like at around 4-5 weeks. But you really can't tell much from lines, so I know it sucks, but I think you're gonna have to wait until that ultrasound. I'll be stalking though, I'm curious how far you are!

Congrats on your BFP!!

I would say you're earlier on with that first test hun. By about 8 weeks or so, my tests were sucking all the dye from the control side so that the test line was extremely dark and the control line was light! Everyone is different though, good luck!

Hi, my tests we're faint like yours till 4 weeks but by 5 weeks they we're as dark as the control line, the past few days they've been darker than the control line. x x

Could you use one of the digital tests which tells you how far along you are?

Justagirlxx · Mar 29th, 2012, 04:56 AM

When did you start getting symptoms? Sore breasts/etc ? I'd say you are more like 4-5 weeks with those tests. I doubt you'd make it through the entire first trimester not realizing you were pregnant (unless you were puking constantly a month ago or were one of the lucky ones with no morning sickness!) Anyways congrats and I hope you get in to see a doctor soon. The next 10 days are going to take forever but atleast then you will know!!

My breasts have been sore for about 2 months now and I've had increased heartburn about that long. Had light cramping around my uterus for at least a month. I haven't had any morning sickness at all. The test I took at home was instantly positive. I didn't have to wait for the line to develop or darken. Before I went to the dr's office, I drank 3 bottles of water because I have a shy bladder at the dr's, so my urine was really diluted, so that's why the pink-line test could look light. Like I said, I don't think I'm as far along as they think, but I'm guessing maybe 6 weeks or so? I won't know for a week and a half, so I just have to relax. Thanks for all your input and I'll update when I know more. I'm going to see the wellness nurse on Monday, so hopefully she can at least give me something to get me through til the 10th.

I'm going to guess and say you're between 6-8 weeks x
