Hello

Im still trying to work out what is actually going on so if anyone can give me any advice i would much appreciate it, this is my 2nd post but i have more info now...........!

I have been having really long cycles, last full period was 17/12/2008, i did have a lighter bleed starting 02/02/2009 which wasnt as heavy as normal but would have put my cycle at btwn 45 and 48 days which it has been a for a few months now. SO......... AF hasnt arrived and last week i had 2 positive HPT and also a positive test at drs which from my lmp (going from the 02/02) you put me at 7.5 weeks, scan yesterday showed yolk sac and a tiny tiny tiny white dot inside it. Lady doing unltrasound said i was very early on and to go back in 3 weeks, She has guessed im at around 5 weeks - now does she mean 5 weeks from when my lmp would have been if i had a 28 day cycle? cos she said the sac was around 3 weeks old? That would have me concieving around 3 weeks ago, 03/03 which is what i suspected going on my recent 45-48 day cycles.

What im getting at is when i go back in 3 weeks is she expecting the little bean to be 6 weeks old ( which if im correct would put me at 8 weeks with a normal 28 day cycle? )

im really just worried that i will go back and they still wont see anything cos it will still be too soon, ive been reading ladies saying they have seen a heartbeat at 6 weeks, do they mean 6 weeks from lmp or 6 weeks from conception??

Im due back on the 16/04 which will put me at 6weeks and 2 days from guestimated time of conception??

Thank you xxx

It's six weeks from LMP I think, all maternity week dates are based on the LMP figure I think until you get an EDD. So it's age of bean plus (2 weeks or is it 3) I think.

What you describe sounds pretty well exactly right for conception 3 weeks ago (5 weeks pg). I saw a hearbeat at an early scan performed at 5+4 or 3 weeks 5 days after the 'event' (I was v lucky to get this result so early).

By 8 weeks (6 weeks after conception) you should be able to see quite a lot, including stubby little arms and legs, quite large and obviously beating heart. (I had another at 7+4 and was amazed at the difference)
