They moved me forward 4 days at my scan, and I know when I ovulated as I'd just started monitoring my basal body temperature and have the 'spike' clearly on my charts. They also ignore dates for those who have used IVF and go by the scan size so all a bit up in the air really

I'm curious to see the duration of pregnancy for those who know conception date as they will count you as 'full term' anytime from 37-42 weeks (!) - bit of a vested interest at the moment as I'm 40+2... (their dates)

Hmm so they're really going by size and not date at all then?

Yep. Doctor asked for LMP date, which then is the date they use to work out when to book your scan, and then at the scan itself they give you your 'due' date based on baby size at scan. All sounds a bit bizarre to me but I suppose most women won't know ovulation/conception date.

Wehay - big congratulations Mrsj28!:T And good luck to the others who are also having scans this week!

Mine is next Tuesday - should be 12+6 so will be interesting to find out a. if there is anything there (still seems a bit strange and I am huge through bloating - its getting very hard to disguise it) and b. if there is something there, what they date me as.

Is anyone else getting terrible road rage? I am getting worse each day on the commute to work. I have no patience and if someone cuts me up.....well...theres all hell to pay! :mad::mad:

Thanks everybody

I ovulated on CD23 so I had expected to be put back a week or so (which I was). I guess they have to go on LMP first as it's the most consistently reliable date as a lot of people don't know when they ovulated.

We are not having the nuchal scan so no need to go back, and the sonographer was (eventually!) able to take all the measurements she needed. The baby kept falling asleep all bunched up in a corner so I had to keep coughing to wake it up!

Hello, room for another one in here?

I got my bfp today and am very excited! This is my second baby and I already have a one year old son, who is simply fab In my last pregnancy I had hyperemeis and threw up for the entire 9 months, ending up 3 stone lighter. Hoping that won't happen this time, although the reason I took a test today was because I threw up so the chances of that aren't great! I'm very early days yet, think I will be 4 weeks tomorrow going from my lmp.

Looking forward to the next 9 or so months xxx

Welcome hippyman, hope this pregnancy goes easier for you, hyperemesis doesnt sound like fun! :eek:

Ihatedida - I havent got more road rage, but I am getting mood swings..poor DH says he feels like I am just waiting to pounce on him sometimes..
really hope it lets up as Im not used to feeling up and down like this

night all - good luck to BigBird for your scan tomorrow (i think??)

Hippymam

Thanks Mogwai no, it isn't fun, but I got my little boy at the end of it all so it was worth every (pukey) second xxx
