Conception/ovulation Question

rachnnn

Hi all - The first day of my last period was July 11, and my husband and I only had sex on July 29.  Based on this, we thought I was over 7 weeks pregnant, but I had an ultrasound this morning and I am only 6 weeks, 1 day.  Does this make sense?  The sperm would have had to live 4 days and I would have ovulated 23 days into my cycle?  Or does this indicate that the baby is not growing properly?  I really want a child and I thought I would be euphoric, but I'm 37, this is my first pregnancy, and I am feeling massive anxiety/paranoia about miscarriage. We had a strong heartbeat today so I'm hoping to rule out various bad things so I can relax and enjoy this! Thanks!

If you had sex July 29, you could have easily Od/conceived 2,3, 4 days later.

Were you charting? Is your doctor worried? Honestly, it sounds like you are borrowing trouble.

U/S's can also be +/- by 3-4 days... A strong heartbeat is a good sign! H&H 9 months to you!!!

I ovulated on 7/25 and am 7 weeks 1 day so I assume you ovulated later around 7/1 so you would have done the deed only 2 days before ovulation. Seems realistic. I think one question we need to know is when did you get a positive pregnancy test. This will be helpful to know!

Oops I mean 8/1

Thanks for the feedback everyone - I like the borrowing trouble concept.  Worrying over everything won't change the situation anyway.  It was really comforting to see the heart flutter, so I'll go with that.

Since you saw hb yes I wouldn't worry! Sorry missed that piece

I generally ovulate late too around day 22/23 of my 35 day cycle. My first born son's due date changed by a week from 13 dec to 21 dec. now I'm pregnant with no 2 & my original due date was 24 march it's now changed to 31 march which again is a week out. We heard a h/b at 7 weeks. Generally I wouldn't worry u obviously just ovulated late this time )
