Am I further on than I thought?

[Jennifurball]

Hello,

I was just wondering if I had worked things out correctly. My LMP started on 6th Aug, although I was due a day or two earlier I think. Am I right in thinking this is my 7th week instead of 6th as previously thought?

My cycle is pretty regular, 28 days although I think I recall my last period being slightly shorter.

I have also noticed I have had the symptoms already that I should be getting now, they have been and gone. I had the extreme tiredness (still have to some degree), boobs were very sore (still a bit now) but I had terrible hunger pangs, more than usual and I am greedy! Also had the heavy discharge and that has now gone, all this happened when I got my BFP on 5th Sep, which was 4+2, according to my calculations.

Most of my symptoms have gone, I get very light occasional sick feelings when I am hungry but my appetite has decreased, together with me giving up my alcohol, I have lost weight and my bloat has gone down.

I have no idea when my dating scan is due so am doing my best to work it out!

Have u been to the GP ? And confirmed the pregnancy ? The hospital should be contacting u if your not sure on ur dates but if u are then u won't get a scan still 12 weeks .

my LMP was the 8th Aug and i'm starting week 6 today so you would be 6 weeks and 2 days i think, but like the above asks have u been to the doctos to find out ?

Hi! Everyone's pregnancy is different, some people's symptoms never go away and some go early. Your calculations sounds correct to me. It doesn't mean there's something wrong either - I took a pregnancy test at 6weeks to still make sure before I told my parents. Some people don't have sickness start until later whereas I had mine start from day 1 and I still have it.... I don't think anyone can really say what is normal and what isn't - other than heavy bleeding and severe stomach pains, that is.xox

Hi,

Yes I did go to the GP, he was pretty useless really. Wouldn't take another test to confirm, which is a shame really because I would have liked an official 'yes you are pregnant!'

It is just me wishing my first trimester away I think! I hate this constant worry, feels like a lifetime away.

My doctor wouldn't confirm it either - he said the tests I did at home were the same as he would use so didn't need to - much to my surprise and annoyance... So, to this day, I have had no official confirmation that I am actually pregnant! If you keep yourself busy, you will find the time goes faster. I hated being on holiday for a week because the time dragged so much! I couldn't wait to get back to work! How silly is that?!xox

Yeah mine never asked me to do another test to prove it they wetre happy for me to tell them i was pregnant

By my calculations the 6+2 on your ticker is spot on. When you are 6+something you are in your "seventh week" but obviously you won't be 7 weeks until the end of that week. Confusing. Anyway if your cycles are regular your dating scan is likely to be within about 5 days either way of the date you have worked out. Should give you a due date of somewhere right near the middle of May.

Don't worry about symptoms coming and going as it is perfectly normal. I haven't had any symptoms really apart from tiredness and I was so worried and wishing I could be really sick. I've had 2 early scans and so far so good. I don't think having loads and loads of symptoms can be used as a sign that everything is fine.

Your dating scan will probably be in the last week of October or the first week of November.

Thank you.

Oct/Nov seems an age away! lol - just hope everything is ok, I am doing all I can to make baby's home as nice as can be!

The tiredness is still here, slept 10 hours last night and I am still yawning at my desk!
