Hi! This is our fourth pregnancy and we were swaying for a boy. I am a late ovulator. Usually around day 23. I was temping and know ovulation date. I got a strong positive test 11 days later. In my last pregnancy with #3, she was measuring a little over a week behind which worried me but it ended up being fine and she’s healthy and prefect.
So when I called my doctor to set up my first appt I told them I’m a late ovulator and even made my appt a week later than they would have otherwise to avoid any disappointment of it measuring behind. At that appt I expected to be 8 weeks. I was measuring at just about 7. I was disappointed it happened again.
Here’s the kicker. I ovulated on 10/24; positive test on 11/4. According to that, how is it possible I was measuring 7 weeks on 12/4? The ultrasound tech kept saying late ovulation but I know when I ovulated! She also said a baby measuring behind usually means girl. But again, we did it on ovulation day and I got my positive test a perfect 11 days later so there’s still hope. Just curious if any of you have any idea how this baby could be measuring that far behind. Also, I’ve had two ultrasounds and it grew perfectly and heartbeat was great.
