congrats!

Yes your pregnancy is dated from first day of your LMP.. so you are already 6 weeks and due 25 july '14 (in and around!)

fingers crossed for you this time. once you get over the 8 week mark and there's a heartbeat, you're home and dried. Having an 8/9 week scan is the best thing you can do (IMO). I live in Dublin and unless you're private, you dont get a scan until 12 or 13 weeks. I coudlnt wait that long so had a scan at 9 weeks. Good strong heartbeat and i was told my risk of MC is now 3%. I like those odds!

best of luck and congrats :)
