Morning all. I'm a bit indecisive. Working out how far gone I am due to my last period I am 6 +3 but I definitely feel it's a lot more. My stomach has a bump already. I'm waiting for my scan date which will take a few weeks. I'm just thinking weather to do another test with tells you how far gone Blush. Either u am further than calculated or I ate a few too many donuts a while back Halloween Confused

It’s probably just bloating at this stage. If you’ve been having regular periods then it’s unlikely that you’re any further gone than your lmp. A clear blue test will only tell you how far from ovulation you are and it only goes up to 3+ so there doesn’t seem much point doing one of those.

You could try a private scan if you’re really sure you’re further along than 6 weeks.

The date indicator tests only go up to 3+ weeks so wouldn’t be any help.
I had ‘bumps’ at 6 weeks, it was bloating in hindsight. They disappeared at around 12 weeks before the actual bumps appeared a fair bit later!
You can pay for an early private scan if you want a more accurate idea of how far along you are. I wasn’t sure with my second so had an early scan at what turned out to be 7+4 ish. It was about £60 I think.

Thank you very much. I think I will leave it until the first scan and just put it down to bloating and donuts. Will just be something to look forward to at the scan 😂
