Check this out. Put in the info and it tells you how far along you are.

It said that I am 4 weeks and 5 days. It's not an exact science but if I count from my lmp i'm going into my 5th week today.

How far along am I?

Let me know what it says for you.

its sooo confusing .. I find depending on what site you go on, they give you different answers.. Yet you give them same info .. who knows.. With my dd the most accurate way to figure out your due date and week, was after the first sono.

When i gave them my AF info.. they gave me a due date of 9/11 and then i had a sono and it changed to 9/21 .. my dd was born on 9/22.. so i say wait for your first sono and ask them to measure the fetus and the computer will tell you what week your in.

I went for another hCG test today. I'm dying to get the results. I hope and pray it's not low. I have to call tomorrow around noon. The good thing is that I haven't had one cramp today- AT ALL! NOT ONE! I've had them since conception and some were really bad. Cross your fingers! STICKYdust

Question, when do you start getting the HCG tests? Do you get them at your first appt? I have mine on Thursday...

I am high risk. This is my 4th pregnancy, 2nd pregnancy this year. I miscarried in Feb. I had my first hCG on the 17th and the second on the 19th. They do it for two reasons- 1) to confirm pregnancy and 2) to make sure your values go up. They say the values double every 24-72 hours. Mine didn't. They were really low and the dr. called me and told me I was going to miscarry. That was last Thurs and so far I haven't. I normally would have by now. That's why i'm super excited that the cramps stoped. Your doctor will probably take a bloodtest when you go on Thurs. How far along are you again?

Re: February Mommies to be Thread

I never had my HCG levels taken. I think it is mainly with high risk patients. I go for my first "official" visit next Tuesday when I will be almost 9 weeks. I can't wait

Re: February Mommies to be Thread

Well, when I got my BFP the line was really light and I had to wait the full 3 min. and even then you could barely see it. With my first and second pg the line came up fast and strong. I miscarried anyway. With the 3rd and this one (4th) the line was very light. I get my results back today.

Re: February Mommies to be Thread

Finally caught up on this thread - congratulations to all the new mommies-to-be. Here is to a wonderful 9 months!

As far as symptoms go - this pregnancy is so much like my first. My own systems so far are dizziness, some gas, and regular BMs (sorry TMI). Also very emotional! Everything makes me cry. In fact, I should have known I was pregnant from the BM - this is exactly how it happened last time. No m/s (didn't have any with my first either) but occasionally naseau in the afternoons, out of nowhere.

This afternoon I go to the Dr and who knows what they will do. With my first pregnancy I was seeing an RE, so I had multiple sonos early and they checked my HCG levels. But this one happened on its own, so I am not betting to have so much information early on. We will see!

Re: February Mommies to be Thread

I'm kinda happy- the doctor said my levels are still rising but they are still not where they should be. It came back at 36 or 38, I can't remember. He put me at 4w 3d. My pregnancy calendar has me at 5w 2d so i'm going with what the Dr. says. We cancelled my sono for tomorrow since we are not 5w and kept the appt. for July 10th. I will be 6w 4d by then and hopefully we will be able to see a flicker. I just know once I see that flicker of a heartbeat that everythings going to be ok. I didn't have cramps at all yet today- THAT'S TWO DAYS IN A ROW!! I'll keep you all updated and thanks for the support!
