How far along am I?? Where do you count from?
So I thought I was 7 wks at my last appt. But I'm trying to put all the info together.
May 7 was my lmp. I ovulated on cd16 (May 22) got a pos hpt 11dpo (June 2) seen nurse with pos urine June 16. June 18 I seen the doc and they drew hcg 2046. June 25 (I assumed this was 7 wks counting from lmp) hcg was 7900. U/S was done and he saw a gestational sac measuring 9 x 6mm and a yolk inside. Cervix measured 39 mms. He said maybe I was not as far along as I thought.
So I did some research and found these measurements to be normal at 5 wks. So if I take out the two weeks before Ovulation actually occurs then it would put me at 5 wks but aren't you supposed to count those 2 wks?
I've totally confused myself!! Any insight??? thanks a bunch!!

My LMP was May 7th too, and I ovulated May 22, which is actually CD15 not 16. And right now I am 7 weeks 4 days according to my LMP. So you would be 7 weeks not 5. June 25th you would have only been 6 weeks 6 days, it's normal for their dates to be a little off in the beginning as they can only give you an estimate. So I am thinking you are fine, your next ultrasound will probably match up with your original dates, as I know lots of people who have gotten 3 different dates, one based on their LMP and then their first 2 ultrasounds giving them 2 other different dates. So don't worry about it, just count yourself from your LMP for now until you have another ultrasound. :) But I do think you are supposed to see a heartbeat at 6 weeks at least, so maybe your baby is just a few days slower at developing, but some babies are like that, so try not to worry. :) Your next ultrasound will definitely reassure you on dates and that your baby is developing normally. And you should see a HB. :)

I appreciate the replies thank you! That makes me feel a ton better!! I think he is doing another u/s on wed cause he don't like my increase in hcg apparently its not enough for him. I already researched that though so I'm well within normal limits and I've since brushed that off.
