Completely confused on how many weeks I am

[oracle0711]

Hi all, I got my BFP yesterday (well three as I needed to check a couple of times).
Anyway I came off the pill in June last year and haven't had a regular period since, they tend to be spaced far apart (I've only had 4 since June). My last period started on 11 Jan. The calculators say I'm between 5-8 weeks pregnant depending on what I set my cycle to. I'm so concerned about not knowing when I'm due or if everythings ok.
I'm also getting a lot of cramps, like period pains but not as bad.

Some cramps Are normal it's just things stretching and changing

If your in a lot of pain though please seek medical help

Thanks for the reassurance

I can't really offer much advice on your dates but once you see your midwife she should get you booked in for a scan

With my last pregnancy my midwife dated me 4 weeks earlier than I actually was, until you have your scan it can sometimes be a bit hit And miss

Get yourself booked in with your GP and your midwife, they will be able to let you know an estimated date. Then, you get yourself a 12 week (ish) scan, and they will do a dating based on size giving you a much better indication of your due date.

As MumOf3xx said, some pains are not unusual - it is impossible to say what they are about (could be implantation pains, or just things stretching) but as my rather pragmatic midwife said when I sadly had a miscarriage, there is nothing you can do about it, so try not to worry.
