How far along am I?? BFP this morning

Hi everyone!

I am in complete shock this morning as I got my first ever BFP. I came off the pill last July and since then my cycle has been between 45-51 days. My last AF was 4 days ago. I ovulated on 10th January. How far along am I? All the online calculators only go up a 38 day cycle length

Congratulations!

Are you sure your last AF was definitely a period and not implantation bleeding?

The midwife normality goes off the first day of your last period as the starting point but this is based on an average 28 day cycle so not accurate if you have long or irregular cycles or ovulate late.

My cycles are very irregular so I had an early scan to determine gestation - LMP would have put me at 8+2 but I actually only measured 6+1 (I'm now 30+4). Early scans aren't exact but they'll give you an idea then you'll get the most accurate measurements and official due date at the 12 week dating scan.

How certain are you that you ovulated on 10th January? Did you use ovulation tests and bbt?

If you ovulated on 10th you would now be 11dpo. So 3 weeks and 4 days. For an estimated lmp it would be ovulation minus 14 days.

However that’s only if you are very certain of the ovulation. Otherwise you could be further along and have ovulated a while ago.

Yes I did ovulation tests, I got my peak on the 9th of Jan, thank you!
