I think my mind is getting the worst of me...

Hello ladies

I had got a positive pregnancy test on 5/09 and when I went to the doctor the following day he confirmed I was pregnant!  He asked me when my last period was and I said 4/04.  Which with that date would put me due on Jan 10th 2012 and make me 7w 2d pregnant.  the doctor had taken me in the office over the past couple of weeks to check my blood levels and had given me 2 ultrasounds.  The first one (which was on 5/10) we didn't see anything which we anticipated because I was so early.  The second on was on 5/18 and we saw a small yolk sac!  We went back to the office today for our first sonogram we were told we would be able to hear the heart beat and see how everything is progressing but there was no heartbeat BUT they did say the baby had grown from the last visit.  My doctors colleauge said it appeared that I am measuring at abut 4w not the 7w I thought I was.  Can my dates be that off????  I have been staining for a couple of days now nothing major nothing red all really dark brown, and I have been experiencing cramps but the doctor said this is all very normal.  The docotor did however notice I had some blood behind my placenta but that is very common and that is most likey the reason why I am staining.  He took more blood from me today and told me he would have the results for me tomorrow in order to make sure my numbers are going up!  He didn't put me on bed rest but made sure I understood I cannot work out (as heavy as I usually do) I have to refrain from intercourse, and any heavy lifting pulling pushing etc.....

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this!  Is this normal?  I'm kinda of a mess today because after my miscarriage in Nov. I don't want to think the worst but my mind is playing so many games with me right now!

    First, congratulations!!  It could be very possible that your dates are wrong.  FX that the betas double appropriately.  PGAL is really hard and everything is going to worry you.  I think that is just the nature of the beast.  Try not to freak out too much until your Dr calls you. 

    GL and please keep us updated!

    I know I got my bfp at 9dpo on 5/8.  That actually puts my due date at 1/19 (not 1/16 which is how my ticker is set, but my ob won't change my due date unless it's more than a week different).  So according to that I would be still 5 weeks, not 6 weeks.  Every day can make a huge difference in early u/s and even a mm difference can change how far along they think you are.  T&Ps to you while you wait!

    It could be possible you ovulated later than expected.  Some women don't ovulate until right before their period, or their cycle is longer than 28 days.  I'm sure everything is fine at this point. :)

    Hello ladies....

    Thank you all so much for your great advice and well wishes.  My doctor called yesterday and said my numbers last week were 629 but this week are at 5065 which is really good (I hope)!  He said since he was not the one to see me he doesn't want to make any determinations over the phone so we scheduled an appt for an U/S on Tues afternoon and he made it clear that my dates are not that off cause at 4 weeks you would be able to see anything so he is pretty confident I might be a week week and a half off and should hear the heartbeat on Tues.  I will keep you all posted

    Thank you so... much again

    xoxo
