I cannot believe this

Two days after DH and I told our families we were expecting DH's sister said she was also expecting. Last night we were all together and she told me she was 3 1/2 weeks, which would mean she found out when she was 4 or 5 dpo. She just said a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't adding up. DH's entire family believed that she was lying to start with, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Today she said she was having a m/c. Now obviously I wouldn't wish a m/c on my worst enemy, but if she is faking this I find it extremely disguisting. I was always told that she HAD to be the center of attention at all times, but this is taking it way to far. I am just shocked that someone would stoop to this level for attention. I guess for her sake I hope she was making it up and really isn't having a m/c. I just don't know what to think.

Ugh, you hate to think someone would be so desperate as to make something like that up. One would wonder why? You don't say how close you two are but I might have a conversation with her to find out how she is feeling. It may uncover some of the reasons she might make up a lie about it.
I know people, like my own mother, seem a bit skeptical of me. I just took a pregnancy test on thursday and it came back positive. My husband and I got married on August 13, began trying immediately, my chart showed I ovulated the following week, and I probably conceived on the 18th or 19th and found out 28 days after the wedding. Some say "how did you find out so soon?" Well, for one, we were looking for it. I was very symptomatic and hopeful....but I wonder if part of the reason my mom is skeptical is because things have changed so much since she was pregnant. Tests are so much more sensitive and can detect pregnancy so early. According to all these websites I am about 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. But because my brother & his wife had a baby a couple of days ago, I wonder if people think I am jealous or something and looking for the limelight. Interesting topic anyway.

The first day of my last period was 8/5, I am due on 5/12, on 8/28 I was approx 3.5 weeks (tested on 9/1 though) A couple days off here and there, but her dates pretty much match up with mine. Not truying to force the issue, but she could be telling the truth.
Implantation occurs at 7-10dpo typically (somtimes as early as 5dpo or late as 12dpo)...which is only about 3 weeks pg. Implantation has to occur for there to be a BFP like the pp said.
By your math, she would be 5 weeks. But maybe she is unaware at this point that her due date is figured by LMP and she is counting from ovulation. If she counted from the day of ovulation, it would make her 3.5 weeks in her mind.
Of course if she is aware enough of her own body to know when she ovulated, you would think she would be aware of how the due date is figured.
Either way, if she is lying and its just for attention, it will blow over pretty quickly and you will be pregnant for the next several months so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
