Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm 22 and this is my first pregnancy. Apologies if this gets long.
I had the implant in for 2 years and bled every single day for these 2 years. It was removed on 31st July 2014. I didn't have unprotected sex until I started taking the pill on 25th August. I didnt take a period between 31st July and 25th August. Because I didn't want a period on my wedding day and was fed up of constantly spotting, I ran four packs together until 14th November. The ONLY day I missed a pill was my wedding day - 3rd October.
I found out I was pregnant on 21st November - I tested because I hadn't taken a period in my week break from the pill.
When I saw my midwife on Friday I told her all of this and she convinced herself I am 8 weeks pregnant - I have no idea why she would say this when all she had to go by is what I told her .
I think it's more likely I conceived on or around my wedding day (which was 10w 3d ago) which would put me at 12w 3d. She gave me a date for a booking appointment which isn't until 13th January at which point I could be 16w pregnant!
I'm so hormonal and feeling really upset by this all. Why have I not been offered a scan to date my pregnancy? How can I break the news to my friends and family without knowing everything is OK first, or even knowing how far along I am?
I managed to get a booking appointment rearranged for tomorrow but I'm so scared of going and being fobbed off again and made to wait 4 weeks for a scan.
Can anyone suggest what I tell the midwife tomorrow? AIBU thinking that I should get a scan if there's no other way to date my pregnancy?
