Anxiety Around Ovulation
Pregnancy question…?
ok. i know i should just talk to my doctor.. which i will, but the anxiety is too much to wait.
so just asking to see if anyone knows or been through the same thing.
my last “period” was on january 23, 2010. i took a test a month and a half later. when to my first appointment at the end of march. going by the size of my uterus and last period. i was 8-9 weeks and due on oct 30. and they say my conception was around the begining of febuary. which going by ovulation calculators online.. they say the say thing.
4 weeks later, i have an ultrasound. my due date doesnt change but she explains in depth about conception and says it was about the 15th,16th, 17th. the weekend before my last period. it just confuses me. the conception changed but my due date stayed the same. i believe more of the ultrasound techician because its her JOB. she knows whats shes looking at and knows what shes talking about.
anyone been through this? i have 16 weeks left and its just stressful!
While it is true that an ultrasound tech generally knows her stuff, I think in this instance she is wrong. My cycles are irregular, and I was keeping track of ovulation while trying to conceive. I know I ovulated on Jan 8. According to my LMP, my due date is Sept 27 but according to my ovulation I should be due Oct 3. My doc refused to change my due date because it is less than a week difference between the two, even though that is the date determined by the ultrasound tech when I was only 7-8 weeks. If your conception date changed by that much (more than 2 weeks) the doc should have changed your due date.
In the long run, what does it matter? Is there a question of paternity? If so, whether the date changed or not, you should still consider a DNA test after the baby is born in order to establish paternity. If it is more of a medical reason related to either you or the pregnancy, the doc will continue to monitor you for the remainder of the pregnancy and if the baby seems to be growing too fast there may be another reason. Good luck!
