I would try to stay positive. If your period is irregular, then these things can happen. It is not uncommon for women to have their EDD changed later on in their pregnancy, so try not to worry too much. The best thing for you to do is to get through this week as calm as possible (stress isn't good on any pregnancy) and see what happens when you go back to the doctor.

Good luck! Keep us posted

Re: First Doctor's Appointment-UPDATED

It might be too early to see/hear too much. At my first appointment, the doctor told me I think there might be 2 in there I left the office not knowing whether I was having twins or not...at my second appointment I was told that there are 2 for sure...but not sure if they will remain. So...another 2 weeks of waiting for me. I go back on Tuesday again to see what the story is.

I know the waiting is hard...but try to remain as calm as possible...and take it 1 day at a time.

I read that sperm can survive 5 days in fertile quality CM, so you never know. I'm new at this, but I have read a lot about women having their HCG levels checked to make sure things are developing -- did you ask him about coming back for another blood test tomorrow?

I agree.

I totally agree with what Shelly said. Having irregular periods (and then not having charted) can mean that your date of conception is totally thrown off...
When I got PG last year, I honestly was shocked because even WITH charting I was convinced I had not ovulated. I usually ran anywhere from 40-50+ day cycles!!! So for many weeks from when I first saw my OB, the doctors didn't really know exactly how to date my pregnancy until I finally got a heartbeat at 6 weeks on my first sonogram.... if I was someone with a "normal" cycle, I probably would have been 8+ weeks or more! So it was frustrating, but its actually more common than you think to have this happen..

so as hard as it's going to be, try NOT to worry this week... I'll be thinking about and praying for you

Re: First Doctor's Appointment-UPDATED

You could have ovulated late. I did not ovulate the month I got pregnant until CD 18. You could have taken days to implant. Those when you are due calculators don't take any of those things into account.
Keep the faith!!!!

Re: First Doctor's Appointment-UPDATED

There are so many factors that can throw off your dates....like when conception took place and when the egg actually implanted. That leaves a lot of room for miscalculations. Some babies don't grow as fast as others too. As long as you aren't bleeding and cramping is slight, everything should be okay.

Re: First Doctor's Appointment-UPDATED

Definately try and stay positive- I heard numerous stories about women measuring wrong based on their dates, especially if you are irregular.

Re: First Doctor's Appointment-UPDATED

Try to remain calm about it, even though I know that's easier said than done- stressing out will not be good for you. I'm sory the Dr. couldn't give you a more firm answer, but unfortunately, he probably didn't have one. If you're uncomfortable with your Dr. though you should definitely look into switching.

Re: First Doctor's Appointment-UPDATED

That sounds like a strange answer. Sonos are not the most exact though. I think the best measure at this time is how your HCG levels are rising.

Try not to worry -
