Got to ask this, could this happen

[Worrisome]

The dr things I am further along (another month on) as lmp 24 Dec but one day bleed on 3rd Feb. However not including a few very faint evaps only got my bfp this month. All my symptoms seem to have only just started, so pinpoint conception date for Feb.

My question is, is it possible for symptons to only begin when hcg reaches a certain level, hence could my pregnancy be from the month before even though symptons only began after bfp? Hope Im explaining myself correctly lol.

The reason why I am asking is I have been shopping for an outfit and a finding it impossible to hide my bump even my mum who tells me straight, says you are further on or twins

 

[Worrisome]

perhaps not

I guess anything is possible - did you test soon after the 1 day bleed to double check or did you just test and then left it for another few weeks before testing?

 

[Worrisome]

Thanks Chocolate, I tested with ic, but when I got my bfp they where so faint, so wondering if there could have been something on them. I also got a faint line on a predictor, but quite a few us had the same and then bfn so put it down to dud tests.
Its just my bump, doesnt look like water retention or preg bloat and is quite high up, its starts from under the rib area.
Body wise points to be further along but sympton wise more like 6weeks. Also at 20dpo I got 3+ weeks, not sure if this is unusual or not

Hmm, wouldnt say getting 3+ at 20dpo is uncommon, think that is very common, Id probably say that you would have got a 3+ a bit earlier if you conceived on the Dec lmp date ........ but maybe its twins lol! Are you booked for an early scan?

 

[chocolate]

but also, it would make sense for symptoms to only start when you got your bfp because for me they kick in the most around 7/8 weeks - especially the sickness, so that would tie in with yours starting too if you were further along.
Love to know the outcome!

 

[Worrisome]

me too lol, thanks Chocolate. Spoke to Drs receptionist to chase up appointment she said referred 15th For an early scan, so should here soon. I would secretly love twins, but one healthy one is enough for me. Good point about the symptons only starting 7 weeks on. Maybe it is just bloated just when Im stood up seems very hard.
Im sure will find out soon eeek

 

[Worrisome]

How are you hun? how are you finding first tri?

 

[chocolate]

Wouldnt that be great if your further along than you think?!!

Im doing alright thanks - would rather be at the stage where I can feel bubs move though and detect the heartbeat on a doppler, but I guess Id still worry!

 

[Worrisome]

I know hun, just to get past the most worrying stage eh, would be bliss.
Really cant see it being though.
I know funny thing is I have a doppler I had with son and gave it to my brother, now I cant ask for it back, because not telling them until after 12 weeks, really really want a go with it lol. Defo recommend them.
It will hopefully go quite quickly for us chocolate

Thats a bit of a bugger - can you ask for it back and say a friend wants to borrow it or would they guess?

I actually used mine a few days ago, just to try to listen to the noises so I can detect a change, so may start doing that just to get used to the different noises - but not sure if it will cause me more worry than good at the moment!

I reckon time will fly by once past the 12 weeks, I have DS to keep me busy and I dont want the next 8 months to fly by as I want to enjoy my DS if you see what I mean .......

Hope your appt comes through soon and let us know how you get on

I know that the midwife said to me that morning sickness kicked in when hormone levels reached a certain level, different in everyone how they react to them but it is based on the amounts.
I have heard of late bfp's also, and if you were getting evaps perhaps they were early bfp's.
All you can do is wait for your scan to confirm dates

Would be great to just skip a month!!

 

[Worrisome]

I know it really would. Just been looking at the bumps thread on here and quite a few showed at 6 weeks, so maybe quite normal for subsequent pregnancys

 

[Worrisome]

Thought I would be brave and show you my bump. Not sure if normal bloat or further along, what do you all think?

omg all these views and no comments must just be fat or bloat

 

[mommy2baby2]

I think it's just bloat....I think we are all sooooo anxious to be showing that we wishful think like crazy. Myself included. But in reality the uterus hasn't grown THAT much by 6-7 weeks. They say by 9 weeks the uterus is approx the size of a grapefruit. If you actually hold up a grapefruit to your body and pretend like it was INSIDE of you, it would still barely be showing.

I'm about 7 weeks now and feel bloated and feel like I'm showing but really it's just bloat. I can FEEL my uterus and it's inside of me, not sticking out. Even when I stand up I imagine I can feel it, and perhaps I can, but in reality I'm just not far along enough to actually be *showing*. I just look bloated....especially if I relax all my stomach muscles, then I look like I have a pot belly (or am approx 3-4months pregnant)...definitely BLOAT.

JMO. But how awesome would it be if you were actually a month further along than you thought! I was excited when my doctor pushed my due date up by 4 days, how cool to be pushed up a month.

Did you take any HPTs after your first BFP in Dec? Like in Jan or after you had your bleed?

 

[Worrisome]

I know from having my other children, that you can easily think your showing but are not really. But I have just been to a christening and even my dad, said there is no way people will not whisper the themselves (oh well), also I know how small the uterus is and wouldnt be out yet, but it even feels quite hard where the pelvic bone is, which I wouldnt have thought it should yet.
I did do a test, some ic (always see evaps on them, shadows) and a predictor with a faint line (posted a piccie in preg gallery ages ago) but some others at the time seemed to have false positives with these and when I got my af (one day bleed) I put it down to either a chemical or an evap.
It just look quite high up, starts from under boobs, normally quite a flat tummy but maybe because its my 3rd.
To be a month on would be fantastic, to just get passed to not so safe 3 months, would be bliss. Maybe as chocolate said could be twins, just looks big for 6 weeks

 

[chrissypm]

Even if your a month ahead your belly wouldn't be reaching to your ribs till after 24 weeks at least. So id say its probably bloating.

I have 6 year old twin boys.

I fell for them in March 2003 straight after having a MMC in January 2003. I had quite alot of pain in the beginning and a very feint positive pregnancy test. I went to see my GP who ordered blood tests and sent me for a scan..suspecting an ectopic pregnancy. When my blood test results came back my levels indicated I was further on than I was saying but when they scanned me they could see nothing in my womb. I has blood tests repeated 48 hours later and my hcg levels had more than doubled. I was rushed in to emergency surgery for ectopic. When I came round from surgery they told me both my tubes were empty and I was still pregnant. I was told to keep my fingers crossed that the surgery didn't cause me to miscarry and to come back 2 weeks later for a scan.

I went back 2 weeks later for them to find....twins! Hence the high hormone levels despite a feint positive (using predictor tests in 2003). My symptoms started 1 week after they told me when I was 7 weeks pregnant and I began to wear maternity clothes (elasticated waist trousers) before I was 12 weeks.

Because of my experiences I would say anything is possible. Do you have twins in your family (I didn't!)?

I hope you get your scan date through very soon.

although rare, some women take tests and they come back neg although they are pregnant. Genna a friend of mine and a member on here has a older sister who didnt get a bfp woth twins till she was 4months!!!

They say it could be down to a faulty test ect. Best thing your doc can do is send you for a scan xx
