1st Trimester

1st appointment, kinda freaking out...

Okay, well, I have no idea when my last AF was, I think it was at the end of November...We found out we were PG on Jan. 1st...Today we had our first appointment, and we all thought I must be around 7 weeks...however the doc said I was measuring at 5 weeks. ?It seems impossible, as we found out I was PG 2 weeks ago, and that would mean my AF was 3 weeks before that (right?)...but I looked at the calendar, and that just doesn't seem right. ?He told me to come back in a week to make sure it is growing, so now I am really afraid. ?We DID see the little flicker of the heartbeat, so he said that was a really good sign, but that it was too early to say 100% if everything is okay. ?Now I am in a panic.

Re: 1st appointment, kinda freaking out...

  • All it means is that you probably O'd late. Did you chart? Do you have any idea when you O'd? I wouldn't worry, especially if you saw a flicker. Try and relax (I know, I know, easier said than done).
    Dear Bump: You suck.
  • Ok.... deep breaths!  Same thing happened to me and it turns out i just o'd late!  2 weeks difference is NOT that big of a deal...

    Think positive thoughts and good luck.  Happy and Healthy 9 months!  :)

  • you could've ovulated later than usual?  I am in the same boat (except 1 week off), and I was positive of my last AF because it was the 2nd day of our vacation.  We saw a heartbeat and the doc didnt seem worried.  He said my blood work I had 5 weeks earlier were really low for me being 4 weeks, so the u/s was probably correct and I ovulated late?  Who knows?  Try not to worry!
  • You probably O'd late. Keep us updated and good luck.

  • It's totally possible.  I got a bfp at 3w3d.  If you weren't charting, you probably O'd late.  It's very common.

  • you know, last time I charted and did all that stuff, but this time was a total surprise..that's why I am not sure of anything...but I know my dh and I only BD'd once because he got sick, but I don't know exactly when that was. ?I thought it was some time early december, and that my af was at the end of november, but that just doesn't add up...I hope I am just completely way off, and all it okay.

  • I thought they counted your pg from the first day of AF, do you guys mean they count it from day of O?

    Thanks everyone?

  • they do count it from your last period, but they also assume that you O'd 14 days later. So if you actually O'd later than that, you would be "less pregnant" than your calculation. Make sense?
    Dear Bump: You suck.
  • I would think you O'd late as pp said. BDing in early December as in HOW early, like first few days, o first few weeks? I am 8 weeks & KNOW I O'd & got pg right around the 4th. Try to stay calm, seeign the HB is a great sign. With a little one already & not being sure of the dates, it sounds VERY likely you could just be off a little, PLUS spern lives for up to 5 days, so you could have had sex & not O'd for soemtime after that.

    It is calculated from LMP but those carts assumer everyoen has regular 28 day cycles. Early ultrasounds often help a lot with these types of dating issues. Someone could have the same LMP as me, with my 28 day cycles but have a 50 day cycle & be a few weeks behind me.

  • The same thing happened to me today and I too am very scared.  I should be about 6 weeks and the ultrasound only showed a gestational sac measuring around 4 weeks.  I guess time will tell what is really going on.  My doctor seemed pretty optomistic (more than me) so I will know in a week if the pregnancy is viable.  I am just leaving it in Gods hands because I know that either way everything will work out.  Hang in there and keep us updated.
