Ok this is really getting to me not knowing how far along i am if i work it back i could be as far as 16 weeks but i think/feel i'm more around 8 weeks.Periods skipped for 2/3 months at a time so cant date exactly.

Has any one tried those tests that tell you how many weeks you may be pregnant and how close was the weeks given . I know they are not 100% accurate but i would like to have some sort of ball park to work with.

The only tests I've seen, tell you whether you are 1 / 2 / 3+ weeks pregnant, which wouldn't be much good in your case as you are so much further on.

Sugar she is beautifull you must be so proud. Now i really want a little girl :-) x

Three i have used those tests when i was first prgnant but they are ineffective after about 6wks and will give false readings so they are ony really any good if you are very newley pregnant. ;-)

Three2be I'm in the same situation. I missed my last 2 and I'm usually 5 week per cycle. So I could anything from 3-4 up to about 12. I think I'm about 8 weeks to because of the sickness and the weeping.
Hence I'm trying to get my scan asap.

32B - I think they are only useful when you are a few weeks like 2-3 or 4-5.

Sarah - sorry about ur dentist appt.

SS - aw she is so cute! I want one!!!!!

Fishcake - you could also try ringing the scanning dept.

Well, won't be on much today (she says :rolleyes:) have got stacks to do and now I have 2 members of staff off who are supposed to cover each other. Guess who's gonna have to do the urgent referrals :rolleyes: not impressed but at least a lunchtime meeting has been cancelled.

Had a crap night sleep but mainly because OH kept prodding me as I was keeping him awake. If I sleep on my left or on my back, I snore like a hog but if I sleep on my right I don't. Problem is I get sore from lying on one side. I've been told to sleep in spare room - not sure how I'll manage that as BIL is coming to stay Thursday - does he expect me to bunk in with him?! :eek:

Just realised we've not heard from Suzy yet - could be good news!!!

Labour vibes and hugs to anyone that needs them

Thanks xmas! I don't really liek surprises so like to know what to expect even from a MW appointment!

Three, can you phone the midwife and ask about a dating scan? Surely they would view it as necessary when you ahve no idea! I was the same, when I first got my BFP I could have been about 12 weeks going by my dates but was actually only 5 weeks! Surely they'd need to be able to check your progress and book in for anomoly scan etc but that would be hard without an EDD?

Just fib - make out that it's the longer of the two dates (umpteen weeks pregnant), bully them into an urgent scan, and then practise your "innocent" face ready if they tell you that you're not so far along! (At least, that's what I'd do.)

Ok things have really changed since last baby. just off the phone to the doctor and they aren't even interested in seeing me or doing a test. He said you've been hear before no need to repeat a test if yours was positive.

I have to collect my folic tabs later and just wait on an antenatal appointment. He said that given my erratic period they may want to get me in for a dating scan(yes please).

Total time of call 6 min, can't believe they don't even refer you to a nurse for blood pressure etc. So it may be weeks before i find out when the bump is due.

What am i going to tell people thats usually the first thing they ask when you say you are expecting,when are you due... erm some time next year i think great start.

How long did people what on their dating scans?

My mam couldnt believe it when no-one not the docs of the midwife actually did a pregnancy test on me lol

I got my dating scan appointment on Sat, when I was 9+2 weeks, I will be 12 weeks when I have it

SJ - I saw my MW at 8 weeks and had all my bloods taken (still have the brusie), she then said she didnt want to see me (lol) till I was 16 weeks, I have to have my scan first then when I know my exact due date I have to ring the MW for an appointment when I am exactly 16 weeks

Awwww SS she is gorgeous!!!!!!

three2be - the dating tests only work so far, Clearblue goes like this 2-3 weeks, 3-4 weeks, 4-5 weeks, 5 weeks + then you need to add 2 weeks (as the docs do) so if you were 8 weeks or 16 weeks it would just say 5 week+
