Splank thanks just really worried that if the baby doesn't make it will we ever get to this point again,after all these years trying its heartbreaking fearing the worst.all I can do is wait and hope.

Don't forget that the date you had iui isn't actually the date you got pregnant - the day of conception can be up to 10 days before the day the egg implants in the uterus. Maybe that's why you're a "week behind"? With women who haven't had treatment or aren't sure of dates, it would be a non issue because they may not know the exact date of ovulation. As splank said the measurements have to be bang on for them to check the date etc.

Thank you sulphate, explained it better than I could - I know what I meant x

I am leaning towards you are just not as far as you think. Maybe worth calling GP asking them to write up two blood forms for 48hrs apart and getting levels checked. x

Part Mouse I didnt have treatment but I had scans at 5w4d and 7w4d. Both times I was measuring a week behind and, like you, was really worried.
When I went to my 12 week scan I was bang on 12w1d which tied in with my dates exactly. Not sure how or why but was relieved.

I know everyone's different but hope this gives you some hope xx

Thanks all. My fertility dr was expecting me to be 7+ weeks but only measing 6 weeks.

I did think about asking my gp to do bloods but its likely to take a few weeks to see the gp.

Alice glad the outcome was good for you.

Im praying the nauesa is a good sign. Wishing away the next week to.

Hugs PM x I'm so glad you got to see the heartbeat though so your bean is still growing and reaching the next stages.

Please try not to worry too much as at this stage they're dealing with differences that are in fractions of millimetres and its so easy for them to a bit out with their measurements.

My bean measure about 5 days behind where I thought she should be at first then at 12 weeks she'd jumped forward to about a week and a half further along then they'd first put her! Theres definitely a big margin for error until they get to about 12 weeks x

Welcome cmcavon!

sorry to hear your scan was not reassuring PM but it sounds as though others have had the same problem at early scans and all had been well. Keeping fingers tightly crossed for you!

As for me, I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and have my booking in appt! I'm both excited and scared that its going to become a bit more real. Do I need to know anything before the appt? I've just been advised to have a think about what tests I would want to have for downs etc. I felt great when I woke up today probably due to a lazy Sunday which included a nap but now I have a weird crampy feeling that I've not had before. Hoping it's just things stretching and not a bad sign! The nausea and sore boobs and tiredness are still very present so hopefully all is well.

How's everyone else?

My wife is 8w today... although we are now doubting this and she maybe ~4 weeks further on than we originally thought! Shall soon see though! She has been rather nauseous for the last couple of weeks, I keep telling her is a good sign but she has other ideas haha!


Booking in apt is in a couple of weeks, although she was meant to see a obstetrician rather than a standard midwife booking in just to run over the previous pregnancy issues to see if she needs to be bounced up to a higher level of car sooner or just continue with standard level, however it seems as though the booking in apt is with a midwife!

Purcy thanks, and thanks all for the reassurance. So jealous of all that are booking in soon. I hope all goes well for you all. I should be 7 weeks + and not even sure if my referal to mw has even been sent yet.Will be calling the gp again tommorow to see.
