How Far Along ? Posted: 05-21-07 13:34pm
Ok... so I might be pregnant, it's reallyy
driving me crazy. I keep taking test after
test, still negative! Newayz, we weren't
trying to get pregnant... & I have
irregular periods. I like totally can't
remember when my last period was, in March
or April sometime... but for only 2 days!!
(that's mainly why I don't remember the
date). How do you calculate how far along
you are without knowing the first day of
your last period?? & when can you begin to
feel movement for a second pregnancy? I
swear, the last two nights... I've been
very crampy and would just lay there.. & I
felt movement.. I heard that 10 wks is the
earliest... either way, I think I'm
farther along than I thought..

if you don't know when your last period
was, the only way to know how far along
you are is with an ultrasound.
perhaps you should go to the doctor for a
blood test and take it from there.
you can't feel movement at 10 weeks.
personally i think anything before 15
weeks is gas and wishful thinking.

I'm gonna wait it out another week or two,
take another test & if it negative
still then I'll just leave it alone. But
if it does come out to be positive, I'll
do just what you said... blood test to
confirm, & an ultrasound to get my due
date. Thanks a lot! With my first, I
didn't find out I pregnant until I was 5
1/2 mos. Now that I have experience, I
just feel sooo pregnant!!

Did you not find out until so late because
you are irregular or were your tests
coming back negative?

.bridget, I didn't
recognise .finn in your avatar! He looks
so different! Maybe it's the red on his
shirt that makes his hair look more
reddish. Weird!
You definitely can't feel movement at 10
weeks. For a second pregnancy, 15+ is more
likely. I personally wouldn't trust
anything earlier than 16 weeks.
If you're 10 weeks along, you should
trigger a positive on a pregnancy test. I
would think, anyway.

Maybe you should be checking with the
doctor about why you aren't having your
period anyway. Are you not worried about
that whether it's pregnancy related or
not? If you haven't already been
diagnosed with something that would cause
you to lose your period I would check into
it just to be sure.
Newayz, we weren't
