Very confused about my conception date!?

Question

My last period was 6/29. I had one 6/24 which is strange because I never have had one come early before. I took my first positive test on 07/26. So based on my period I was assuming I'm 8 weeks pregnant right now. Unless that last weird period wasn't really a period & then I'd be 11 weeks right now. So I went to the Dr today from some spotting I've been having & when they did the sonogram, the baby is measuring at 6 weeks. So she's telling me my conception date is actually 07/28. 2 days AFTER my POSITIVE pregnancy test!? How in the world would a pregnancy test that doesn't even work until you've missed a period tell me I'm pregnant before I've even conceived!? When I asked the nurse as well as the Dr, they just shrugged their shoulders. I had s*x 06/12 & 06/16. I am so confused. Either they are really wrong, or my baby is 2 weeks too small which is worrying me! Anyone ever heard of something like this? Help!!

Answer 1

ok

Answer 2

wow! that would be confusing. Well. the second "period" you had might have been implantation bleeding which would mean you'd be about 1 week pregnant when that happened.

they can really be off with ultrasounds, up to a lb off..so don't freak out yet. Enjoy your pregnancy and try to wait until later on to worry about due dates. Go with your gut, you've got a long road ahead of you...try to take it one day at at time.

Answer 3

You are early in your pregnancy. From personal experience, baby is always going to measure smaller, especially earlier. At my first ultrasound they measured me two weeks behind what I said and then at my second one I measured dead on what I said I was. So you can't always go by ultrasounds for estimation of conception. Just go with what you think. Normally a positive pregnancy test won't read until 8-10 days past ovulation.

Answer 4

I would talk to the dr again or ask for a second opinion.  Rememeber this is for you concerning your baby and you have every right to get help with any questions you may have.  Good luck.

Answer 6

Early ultrasounds are usually quite accurate, so I would assume that the dates they gave you are correct...  which is very strange!  

I would discuss what has happened with your doctor (and if he/she won't listen, I would suggest going to someone else).

You should have your hormone levels measure to make sure they are increasing, and perhaps another ultrasound to double check the age of the fetus.  

Good Luck!!
