5 weeks pregnant

[Mumtobe888]

Hello,

I was just wondering, when you go for a scan and they tell you you’re approx 5 weeks pregnant, does that mean I actually conceived 3 weeks ago?

thank you

@Mumtobe888 your dating will be from your approximate last period, so yes 5 weeks means 3 weeks as generally ovulation is 2 weeks post period. X

How comes they add 2 weeks even on the scan?x

It's how the 40 weeks will be dated x

That's just how pregnancy is counted 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's weird but it keeps it consistent all the way through

Hello, I’m after some advice please.
In June I had a miscarriage. I bled for a few days around 4. Me and partner, had sex, and continued for the rest of june. Then July, we fell out I did not see him. No sex for the whole of July. I had a period on the 12th of July for four days, and again on the 19 of July for 6 days. My periods are usually irregular. Then this month we started sleeping together again. My period is late. So I’ve done a pregnancy test, I did a clear blue, it’s came up positive 2-3. Would this mean I conceived in August, and I’ve found out super earlier. I was told to book private scan, today I went they've said they can see a yolk sac but no embryo, and I could possibly be 4/5 weeks, and this could be the reason to why they can only see the sac but no embryo as it’s too early. Or I could have another miscarriage and I have to wait two weeks and re do a pregnancy test. Has anyone got any advice please

@Mummy5999 2-3 weeks on a clearblue test is 4-5 weeks pregnant which is WAY too early to see anything on a scan. That's why most fertility clinics won't do one until 7 weeks at least. So yes you would've conceived in August and it's definitely too early for private scans.

Thankyou, my doctors advised me to book one, that’s the only reason why I did. she was saying I was 7 weeks. Which I was really confused. They’ve told me to take another pregnancy test in 2 weeks then go back to them x
