Weeks??

Does anyone know, when you measured small what week you would go by? For example if you thought you were 8 weeks along based on LMP but measuring 6 weeks how many weeks would you be considered when you m/c.  8 or 6?  Based on LMP I would have been 11 weeks,  but only measured 7.

    From what my Dr said, you can be 8 based on LMP but the baby always grew at a slower rate or you could be 8 weeks and the baby stopped growing at some point. Additionally LMP is not really that accurate (can be weeks off). If you knew when you ovulated that is a better guess of how far along you should be. I read a good book Taking Charge of Your Fertility that is extremely informative about your body and cycles.

    Ok, thanks.  That's what i figured, size wise I was 7.  Thank you for responding, I know it's kind-of an off the wall question.

    I have wondered the same thing.  I was 9 wks, but baby measured at 8.  It's very confusing in a time when some element of certainty would be very appreciated.  Thanks for the info.

    I was to be 10 weeks along, but the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks...I stil say I m/c at 10 weeks- mostly because for me, my body still thought I was PG- I started spotting and went into the Dr thats when we found out with an u/s.
