Can anyone help me work out my dates?

Daft question I know, but I keep getting different due dates from Doctor, Private Team, helplines and hospital.

I have the following information if this helps. (Well obviously it will).

Mc'd on 18th March (D&C done)

1st cycle, ended with AF on 27th April (after 40 days)

2nd cycle, possible OV on 19th May (cd23)

Tested positive on 29th May (cd33).

I was told that I seemed to ovulate late into the cycle with an average phase of 10 days.

If this is so, I am trying to work out how many weeks pregnant I am today.

I have tried the online calculators and also contacted a helpline with both give completely different numbers. My scan said 4 - 5 weeks when I went on Thursday, but my doctor says I was 6+5. The helpline says that both of these are correct. I am very confused now.

ok hun, when was the first day of your lmp? also as a rough guide how long are your cycles?

Singingintherain · 17/06/2008 13:04

sorry, all details in original thread 1st post. My concern is how can I only be 4 - 5 weeks pregnant if I tested positive two weeks ago.

i make you 6+5 using just the lmp date and luteal phase of 10 days but 6+0 if we say your cycles are 33 days long as your post suggests. hth x

Singingintherain · 17/06/2008 13:15

Yes. I took a few days off the 6+0 as I thought that the test may have given a positive a few days before af due. So I could just be over 5+3. I reallyu do not know. It is impossible and I think that I will just have to wait to see consultant to make sure everything is ok.

I guess the only way to know for sure is to wait until the dating scan at 12 weeks. if you wanna chat in the meantime im usually around somewhere lol x

I had another scan with my Consultant last nght as she could get me in.

I was warned that the pregnancy did not look good. She measured me again and got the same result as last Thursday (5 days ago)

They both measured 15mm. Last week they said that this was for a 4 - 5 week pregnancy. My Consultant last night said that this size was what she measured and she said that it was also ok for 6 weeks. She was worried as she said that it should have grown in the last 4 days. I am booked in again in two weeks or another scan. But I am not holding my breath. I do not think that they are either.

Hi Singing - I've answered you on the Feb thread, but in caase you don't see it, I'll copy it here:

Singingintherain - don't worry just yet...

You are 7+2 based on LMP. BUT if you oved on 19th, that was CD 23. Usually EDD is based on ovulation at CD 14. BUT you oved 9 days later than that.

Therefore, to compare with standard timings, I would personally take 9 days off the LMP dates. So that would put you at six weeks.

And at six weeks, it may well be too early to see anything. And that is what they said you measured anyway!

A good site to look at is this one:

www.visembryo.com/baby/1.html

It shows you what the embryo/foetus looks like and what sizes it is at different stages of the pregnancy.

The timings are based on days post ovulation. So currently you are 30 days post ov - this stage, 4-6mm

Singingintherain · 20/06/2008 08:12

Hi, thank you for your information.

I am just wondering where they got my size of 15mm. I a wondering if this is the size of the whole area instead of the embryo.

I am beginning to feel even more pregnant now. I have loads of symptoms. I am constantly tired and have a really sore chest. I am just trying to get on as normal, but it is very difficult when I keep wondering if it is all in vain.

Just got to keep hanging on I suppose.
