I usually track my cycles using my Fitbit app.. i have done this for the last 12 months and if I don’t manually input my period start date it will predict the dates for me based on previous cycles.
I know my last definite period was 05/01/2020 and this was a normal period. My February period came earlier than expected (around 31st Jan when should of been 5th Feb) and was very light. I had some spotting for 3 days only when i wiped on 25th Feb.
I got my first BFP in the evening on 5th March. Looking back i have been going off the dates on my Fitbit app thinking that my LMP was 5th Feb but now i am totally doubting myself.
I don’t know which date to count from to work my dates out, do i count from January which would make me around 10 weeks or do i count from February which would make me around 5-6 weeks? I know that i wont know for sure until I have a scan, i have booked a private scan for 30th March but that feels like a million years away!
My first midwife appointment is next Monday, i phoned the doctors on Wednesday to try and bring the appointment forward but the receptionist was having none of it and said i have to wait until the 23rd.
Thinking back to how i was feeling a few weeks before i got my BFP, I was so tired, had a tummy bug, felt nauseous, had bad headaches and had really sore boobs.
My tummy is so bloated that i look like i already have a bump. Ive been going to the toilet regularly (compared to barely going at all pre-pregnancy because of medication i was on). I just don’t know what to think now!
What date do you think i should count from?
