Implantation Question

by JTG5, Aug 11, 2003 12:00AM
I was just wondering, in figuring my dates how implantation might effect the dates.  I know I didn't implant until at least June 27th in the late afternoon.  How do I know this?  I had a quantitative HCG done that morning and it came back 3.9 barely preg.  I didn't turn a hpt + that morning on first morning urine.  Obviously with 3.9 it's too little.  BUT that afternoon I turned a hpt + so I know I must have implanted.  My question then is could the fetus be less developed then I thought orignially.  This makes a whole weeks difference.  I think I ovulated, but implantation took on the longer side.  Now I had 2 ultrasounds that showed a yolk sac but no fetus.  I think that instead of 6 and 7 weeks I was really 5 and 6 weeks along b/c of the late implantation.  I know I Ovulated around June 16th b/c I had an LH surge.  What are your thoughts or knowledge?

When was your u/s? have you had another? your HCG numbers are doing very well so it seems like you have nothing to worry about.  When do you go back?b
