Distraction/Join My Guessing Game

Dating scan on Thursday so we will know for sure then but I have been driving myself nuts over this for the last three weeks so thought I might as well let you all join in my little game too. Here are the facts:

We have been TTC since April.

I have very irregular periods - sometimes 28 days, often 6/7 weeks apart.

I am not sure when my last period was - I definitely had a bleed around 22nd August - about two days of very light bleeding - lots of mucus with red blood in, whereas normally my periods are heavy as and last at least five days.

Last period before that was some time in mid July.

I tested on 9th October because I had been feeling like sh*te and wanted to go to drs so thought I better eliminate the possibility that I was pregs - reader, I was pregs.

Test on 9th October (evening) was resoundingly positive - test line about twice as strong as the control line - tested again on 10th (morning) to be safe and got the same result.

Have been feeling generally exhausted and like cr*p since we were on holiday (departed 30th September) - still feel that way now.

Didn't really feel bad before then but there is a chance I might not've noticed - my job entails early mornings that generally knacker me anyway plus I was very busy/stressed with work and my body has a long history of keeping it's "issues" under control until it has time to show them (i.e. when I was a kid I always got a mega cold in the first week of the school holidays).

My boobs have been slightly sore since some time in August but my boobs are massive so I just ignored it. They got a lot worse once I found out I was pregnant (i.e. stabby, not just achy).

Some time over the summer - I can't remember exactly when - I suddenly started needing the loo in the middle of the night. I just put that down to age. Now I'm up to two wees a night.

SO! How pregnant am I? MW is dating me as 15 weeks on the basis of the mid-July period being my LNP and 22nd August being implantation but I am dubious - how could I have have not had any symptoms (apart from the ones I dismissed above) until early October - when I would've been 11 weeks?! And how can I still be feeling so utterly PANTS now?

PLUS MWs calculation relies on me ovulating 2 weeks after LNP and implanting a few days after which doesn't work with the date of my supposed implantation bleed.

Place your bets ladies and gents and I will reveal the answer on Thursday night...
