Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

If different apps give you estimates which are a week apart then likely your normal cycle lengths are 5 weeks?

Unless your cycle length is 28 days then more accurate for you are calculators which ask not only about the date of your LMP, but also cycle length or date of ovulation.

thanks . what is confusing is that i found out on the saturday..by a test saying 2-3. on the monday doc said 4 weeks.

last period was 25th june. and ovulated 9th july.

but as i say apps and websites some saying 4 week,some 5 week,some 6.. very confusing.. :eek:

The clear blue test are for weeks since conception. So different to how pregnancy is generally calculated.

The calculators will tell you weeks since your last period. Which is the standard way.

So going by your period you are 5 weeks & 1 day.

Going by ovulation you are also 5 weeks & 1 day as you ovulated on the standard cd14.

Does anyone else have a bump?! I'm in maternity jeans already!

9+2

I'm 5+4 and I can definitely see a little difference, I don't have washboard abs or anything usually but I think you know yourself when something has changed. When I go on holiday I'll be 7+1 and fly back 8+2 with all this talk of bumps suddenly just appearing I'm half way to changing my mind on what new outfits to buy to take!

Is it bad luck to invest in a couple of 'maternity' range dresses do you think? I kind of think I'm better off prepared as knowing me it will pop out literally over night!

I've brought these jeans in size 8 (bargain for £6 in sale from Debenhams!)
Looks like they've sold out now though

My mum said to me today oooo you're getting a little bump now!

Becca that's a really good sign as my bump definitely stopped increasing before.

Just remembering something I read on a website about a lady who had quite a few miscarriages.& went to a fertility specialist, they told her she was low on zinc so I've started taking zinc with vitamin c tablets every other day.

Here's my mini bump:



My stomach was pretty flat before, looks so different!

Wow, becca, definitely a bump there. Although I'm a 12 so started with a bump before falling pg
Definitely have a noticeable bump now. Before it was just in the evening but now its pretty much there all day. V paranoid.
Bought some cheapish maternity tops in the Debenhams sale. Not brave enough to wear them yet as they look maternity with those ruched sides.
Also got some leggings and jeggings in New look which are so roomy and comfortable and I havent stopped wearing them.
One thing I did get is a maternity band so those tshirts which are starting to ride up above my tummy no longer expose my skin. Found that quite useful. Also in the Debs sale.
Just bought things in my normal size (if maternity) or a 14 if not. And everything seems to be fitting well - for now!

MIB (also 9+2)

That's a cute bump Becca!
