Babies: 9 - 12 Months

i could not be more confused.

ok so the u/s went fine i guess?.... uh... if i was 5 wks preg. ok here's what happened: everything is perfect if i was 5 weeks pregnant. they said if i was supposed to be 7 wks preg and the baby died at 5 weeks, then there would not be a perfect yolk sac like there is. the dr said "you ARE pregnant - congrats! but your dating must be off". well, not really. i mean here is my testing:

may 16 - 2 dollar store tests with FAINT FAINT lines (you guys saw it) and a BFN on a "rapid response" EPT test (which is meant for ONLY if you are late on your period - not for before). BFN on a digital but i took it at night after a whole day of food and bev and LOTS of peeing

may 17 - didnt test

may 18 -  BFP on the digital! woot!

may 19 - BFP on the other "rapid response" EPT test.

ok so my last AF was 4/19/09 and thats that - i thought i was 7 weeks. well anyway, apparently not.

dh was out of town may 7-8. and then 11-17. so it HAD to have been the wkend of the 9-10th right?

that means i would have tested BFP at 7dpo or earlier. wtf?

and then i just went to the bathroom and had a tiny bit of spotting - but it was more brown IMO - could that be from the internal u/s. 

anyway, can't hear the HB til next monday - at which ill be exactly 6 weeks according to them. 

Re: i could not be more confused.

  • Could you have O'd later than you think?

     

    If you are 5 weeks that would explain the spotting. It would most likely be implantation bleeding.

  • This pregnancy thing is screwy. My docs said the same thing to me... I should be about 2 weeks further along than they think I am.

    I'm glad they were able to give you good news though!

  • Well that is clear as mud. I'm glad that there is still a baby and that you will be able to hear the HB next week.

     

  • Sorry, this must be stressful.

  • I got my BFP at 9 DPO and it was not light or with FMU, so you could have very well gotten a early positive. ??

    ?

    Edit- ?I am talking about when I was pregnant with Lily. ?No, I am not pregnant again. :)?

    see thats what i would guess. so yeah, then i would have O'd a week late and it would have HAD to have been the 9-10th lol 

    but does that "5 weeks preg" math even add up then?

     

    and ABM - when did they tell you "hey take 2 weeks off of that?" lol

  • Hmm, that IS confusing.  It sounds like ABM had the same issue, so I wouldn't worry about it for now.  If it looks like everything else was formed properly and is moving along, then I'm happy and relieved for you.  I definitely had some implantation spotting around 5 weeks, and it was darker, older blood like you say you're seeing.  I remember posting about it and getting flamed for it, so that's how I know.  :D
  • I am 7 weeks tom and I'm almost certain that I conceived the weekend of the 2/3, so you would be a week behind me if you conceived the following weekend (9/10).  If you o'd later than you thought you could have conceived several days after having sex -- 11-14 sometime, which would make you about 5 weeks!

    lol damn - that would be almost certainly another girl then, huh? LOL

     

    but then think about it - how the HECK would i have gotten a BFP when i did??

    lol hey! i agree with you! would they have been able to see anything "twin like" today? or no?

  • Oy Punk!  I'm sorry the appointment didn't help calm your fears.  I'm still praying for you and bebe Punk

  • with DS, my u/s was at 8w4d, but the baby measured as 6w2d...  so everything got pushed way back.

    but he was born two days late, and was only 7lb 2 oz.  imagine if he was born any earlier!!

  • OMG.  Would you be excited about twins?
  • Sperm can live for up to 5 days, right? So maybe you ovulated late?

    Agree. Vanishing twin is very, very common and could explain the higher hcg levels. Fingers crossed for the 6w appointment.

    lol and see that sucks - it was like "hey! p.s.! you need to be pregnant for 2 extra weeks, yo!!"

    and so did you get a BFP really *early* then? i mean, i guess im confused on how that happens? maybe? i dunno. my head hurts LOL

  • The two weeks thing has ALWAYS thrown me off. I think you will be fine and when I went in for my US at 4-5 weeks they couldn't get a HB either so I have one set for Thurs. Fun times, but try and relax.
  • I guess it's possible that they could have seen 2 sacs, but I would guess it's easy to miss this early. Clearly given my very scientic analysis of your pregnancy above, I'm no authority on this!  I've seen polls on here where twins were missed at early ultrasounds...
  • How confusing! I'll say that I was really really confused as to how I managed to get pregnant when I did too. I chalk it up to tricksy babies trying to mess with your mind right from the start.

    You better watch out for this one punk. I can already tell it's going to be a handful...

    well i THOUGHT i was a week late.  but according to the OB calculator they gave me (i don't if everyone's dr. gives them a calendar of weeks?), i would have tested on the supposed conception date...

    who knows?!?!  we weren't even trying!

    LMAO see that is where i am confused. stupid 2 week "give". it confuses me STILL after 2 children.

     

    and yeah, i'll watch out for this one - its a stinker from this early on ;)

  • Did they draw blood?

    Did you POAS at the dr.?

  • imagestar173:

    Did they draw blood?

    Did you POAS at the dr.?

    nope. they said no point. he said "ok so we draw blood. what is that going to help you? we just will see a heartbeat next week". 

    and i thought about POAS and basically he said if i wasn't pregnant, then the yolk sac would not look as good as it did. so that there's no point bc he is sure im actually preg

    Well, if they would draw blood today and Wednesday, they could tell if your levels were going up or not- so, you could make sure punkbean was okay before next week. But, what he said about the sac makes sense..I guess he knows more than I do. Stick out tongue

    lol i totally agree with you. i guess it comes down to that if i said "my periods are wacky - you tell ME how far along i am" they would have confidently said "5 weeks" and that would have been that, kwim?

  • I'm chiming in late on this one. But the same thing is happening with me right now. I had some spotting Fri at what I thought was 8ish weeks. So to the ER I go. High Hcg numbers and u/s show 5wks and some change, no hb. So looking back at my not so consistent cycles, I think I O'd much later than the little spinney dial they determine you EDD with says, which would explain neg HPT considering I would have found out soooo early (but also, like you got BFP's with digitals). So here I wait until Thursday when I have an u/s scheduled and two options: 1. We are much later than I thought, with a baby and a hb. or 2. M/C at 5 weeks and that's what we deal with.

    I feel your frustration 100%, I hope you get this figured out.

    well to give you some hope - if your baby had died at 3 weeks ago... you would not have a good yolk sac still. so if they said that you still had all that - then you are just prob earlier than you though :)
