i've just found out this week that i'm 9
weeks pregnant with my first baby. My
husband and I are over the moon. We
conceived the first month of trying which
worries me slightly that everything
happened so easily. Keep your fingers
crossed that everything goes fine,
especially through the first trimester.
The dr's receptionist told me I was 9
weeks but I think she just used one of
those internet calendars to work it out.
They are based on 28 day cycle which I
don't have - mine is more like 40 so i'm
not sure 9 weeks is correct. Any
comments?
I haven't been to my obgyn yet and am
slightly concerned about the fact that I
had a rubella shot a few months ago.
They told us to wait till june before
trying for a baby. We actually conceived
some time around beginning of may. Will
everything be ok or what are the risks
involved?
Would love to hear from any other pregnant
ladies. I'm so excited!
Congratulations to you!!!
If your periods are not 28 days then you
would not be 9 weeks. They determine how
far along you are by the date of your last
period. If you don't have a 28 day cycle
then you will not be as far along as that
because you would not have ovulated on day
14. I don't have regular periods and
usually ovulate around day 18 or 19.
When I was pregnant, before I miscarried,
by the drs calendar I should have been 7
weeks 4 days but the ultrasound only
measured me at 6 weeks 1 day. I hope that
helps some.
As for the rubella shot, I think you will
be fine but you may just want to check
with the drs office to ease your mind.
They tested me and found out I had
antibodies and did not need the shot.
Good luck to you and may god bless you
with a great pregnancy.

Thanks for your help.
I know the first day of my last period and
had looked at some calendars a few days
ago on the internet. There was one where
you could change the days to show the true
length of your period. Now I can't find
it! I think i'm probably about 7
weeks.
Sorry to hear of your miscarriage.

Hey Posted: 06-23-05 16:23pm
It is very misleading for those of us who
don't have 28 day periods. I am more of
a 34-36 day cycle person myself. I knew
when the receptionist told be how far
along I was, that wasn't correct because I
knew I had ovulated on day 18 or 19.
Thanks, me and my hubby are trying again.
I wish you the best, it is always such a
miracle. God bless.
