Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 YOU SHOULD BE RIGHT ON THE MONEY AT 5 WEEKS SOMETHING DAYS FOR THE FETUS'S GROWTH, SO THE DOCS ARE RIGHT ACCORDING TO YOUR LMP. YOU GOTTA FIGURE THAT FROM THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR LMP YOU COUNT ANYWHERES FROM 12-14 DAYS BEFORE YOU EVEN OVULATED AND CONCIEVED, SO SUBTRACT THOSE 12-14 DAYS ( COULD EVEN BE A COUPLE MORE OF LESS DEPENDING ON YOUR BODY, EVERYONES DIFFERENT.) AND THAT SHOULD LEAVE YOU AT 5 PLUS WEEKS PREGNANT BY BABY GROWTH BUT WHEN YOU CAHRT A PREGNANCY YOU DO ADD THE WEEKS FROM THE LMP SO EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE 7 WEEKS PREGNANT, THE BABY IS ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD BECAUSE IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO OVULATE. I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE AND HELPS EASE YOUR MIND A BIT. GOOD LUCK AND TRY NOT TO WORRY.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I am not an expert by any means, but I would not worry because I believe that how far along you are doesn't just depend on your last period, it also depends on when you ovulated. Hope this puts your mind to some sort of ease. I will be praying for you. Let us know. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 , To try and calm your fears a little, I have seen your exact same question posted here multiple multiple times since joining this group over a year ago with most of them turning out to have a healthy pregnancy and baby in the end. Actually, most who go for an US before 7 weeks cannot see a heartbeat. Since you don't know the exact date of your period, and cycles can get screwy, and that little egg can take its own sweet time implanting and those spermies arent very smart so they may try to penetrate something besides the egg for a day or so (what was happening to me..lol).....try not to worry unless they tell you something and then tell you to worry. I know I was the biggest worry wart in the world, but my husband was always forever faithful in saying " Whatever will be, will be and there's nothing we can do to change it " . He is very wise, but I was still a basketcase. In other words, try and relax.... Best wishes to you! Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
