Apparently I should have lied!

I had my 8 week appointment last week and while I was there I asked about ultrasounds and why I hadn't had one yet. My Dr told me that they only do early ones if the mother isn't sure when her last period was (or for other known problems). Because I was on top of all that info during my confirmation appt. my earliest ultrasound will be the NT test.

I guess I should've lied and pretended I didn't know when my LMP was before I concieved. If only I knew! Lol.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that I didn't *need* an early ultrasound, I'm a FTM and I'm just super excited to see my little bean).

    I don't think it's a good idea to ever lie to your doctor. Good luck on your NT scan, I hope the time just flies by for you.

    My doctor's office requires a dating ultrasound if you plan an NT scan because it has to be very accurate on how far along you are since the time frame to do the scan is short.

    How long are your cycles? Were you tracking ovulation with temps or OPKs? They did my 8 week dating u/s last week and I was only 7 weeks along, which made sense to me since I ovulated in CD20 not CD14 like the doctor's like to assume.

    My doctor straight up told me he's stopped arguing with women about getting a dating U/S.  lol.  I love him.

    That's hilarious. I wish mine felt the same way!

    I wouldn't ever have actually lied, I'm just anxious to know that everything is okay and that this is really happening!

    See there's something I didn't know! I conceived during my first full cycle after having the Mirena in for nearly four years. I more or less did not have a period while the IUD was there, so I lost track of the rhythm of my cycle. I was temping with fertility friend, so I know approx. when I ovulated, but I of course did not have another period because I got knocked up. Basically, I'm missing half of the information I need to know how long my cycles are.

    I guess I can only assume that the Dr knows what she's doing, right?

    When I made my appointment I told them I didn't know my lmp even thou I do. I learned that tip from a friend.
