Dear Dawn,

When on the ticker website if you highlight the bbcode section then got to edit, cut the go back on your profile and paste. You should see your ticker!

Hey Julie,

They calculate your pregancy natural or otherwise from day one of your period. So for us you add 2 weeks from EC. eg my EC was 23/01/06 which means i am 3.5 weeks from then but 5.5 weeks pregnant as i need to add 2 weeks for day one of period. It seems bizarre for us as it was early december whn i last had a period!

Hope this helps.

Love Saraid

Julie

To calculate how many weeks you are pregnant you go from LMP.

It usually works out that you are actually 2 weeks more than EC/ET.

If you look at the left hand side of this page under Resources there is a heading "Pregnancy Calculator" - if you go into that it will be able to help you calculate exactly how pregnant you are.

Hope this helps and congratulations by the way.

Thanks for the info! That clears things up

Saraid, we have the same EC date and same 1st scan date. That's kinda cool

Thanks again!

Dawn,

I got pregnant naturally about a year and a half ago and sadly, it ended in a miscarriage. Since it was a natural pregnancy - my symptoms greatly varied from this time around. I did have sore boobs all through. At 6 weeks my sore boobs went away and I started spotting - faintly - and only for about 2 days. No more symptoms of a miscarriage until 8 weeks when I started spotting again. Then at 10 weeks I had the miscarriage. From 6 weeks when I was spotting the doctors kept telling me - as long as you aren't cramping - things are okay - and that was true for me. I started heavy cramping shortly before the miscarriage.

I would definitely encourage you to not think about miscarriage!! You've made it this far - and with good HCG numbers - that basically means that you are going to carry a successful pregnancy to term! From what I've read - strong HCG numbers early on are GREAT predictors of a successful pregnancy - so don't worry about a miscarriage - enjoy knowing you are pregnant. We're so lucky to get this far - so you're doing something right - keep it up!!

Hi girls

Dan, do try not to worry, but I know how it is - I am the type that just has to know everything

I too had m/c while on meds, and it was like the period from hell so no confusing it ith a bit of spotting or somthing. hat might be interesting for you is if you go to www.betabase.info anf go to links, there are good sites there regarding ealry ultrasounds and loss, I found it reassuring to be informed.

hope that helps, happy 1st Tri girls

Hello ladies!
Glad to hear everyone is doing well. I went for my 1st ultrasound on the 15th and was able to see a little flutter of a new heart. My DH and I couldn't believe it! I'm glad they made prints for us since I still think it is all a dream. We told my DH's parents and they were very excited for us. Haven't told my family yet, we're waiting until the 12 weeks hit. I've got a few symptoms: breast tenderness, acute nose sensitivity :lol: and starting to feel slightly nauseus. Does anyone know if extra progesterone make you feel more nauseus?

Dawn: Glad to hear about the great "double" news. Wow twins! Congratulations. Keep thinking positive thoughts. I think you and I are on the same schedule since our 1st u/s were 2 days apart. I'm trying the ticker tape BBCode in the signature box. Here's hoping it works.

gregmbarry: Read your response to Dawn about the HCG levels. I have been a little worried too, but glad to know that little tidbit.

Take care everyone!!!

Hi Everyone!

We had our first scan yesterday at 7 weeks. It was amazing. We saw the little heart fluttering away. We had 2 embies put back in but we've only one baby in there. Sad that the other didn't make it - but sooooo happy that this one has stuck in there and is growing very much as expected. Babe measures at 1.13 centimetres. I meant to ask for the heart rate but we were so emotional that I forgot! I'll have an appointment with my doctor this Friday and maybe he'll have that information.

I saw little arms and legs at nine weeks, so I don't think you're dreaming. Best of luck for your scan!

Angeleyes,

Can't wait to hear about your ultrasound!! I have also read that you should be able to see little buds for arms and legs. How exciting!

LittleP · Post by **LittleP** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 6:04 pm

Good luck with the scan tomorrow - I hope you see everything you want to.

I hope that all of you are taking care and not feeling too bad.
