according to the website due date calcs i am about 7 weeks now.
i had my 1st u/s when i was around 4 weeks & the u/s tech said she coulnt see anything in my uterus. needless to say i was upset. my dr. said to get bloodwork done to see if my hcg levels were rising. i had my 1st bloodtest and then 48 hours later went back for my 2nd. my dr. said my levels doubled which were normal. but my dr. did say that on my 1st bloodtest the hcg levels were low & i could have been earlier in pregnancy than they had thought. could this be true? maybe it was just to early or should i be worried? i have my 1st prenatal checkup on feb 19th but until then its just a worrying and waiting game. has this happened to anyone else or any advice at all? thanks

when i rang to book my appointment the lady told me i had to be at leats 6 weeks to do the dating, i guess because they are so tiny, like at 3 weeks your baby is only about .2 of a ml big! so it is likely that they just werent able to see it yet, especially if you were a little bit less than you thought

It souns like it could be too early, and as for HCG levels every pregnancy is different. The more important thing is that they rise the first 6-8 weeks and not if they are low or high.
Good luck keep us posted.
