pregnancy question

as many of you know i just got my bfp on the 10th, well people are asking me how far along, and i honestly dont know, since my lmp was jan 12, and i kept getting neg. hpts, i really have no idea on how to date this pregnancy! can the doc accuratly figure out how pregnant i am, or will he assume im 8w because of my dates, i just dont want him to think somethings wrong if we cant hear a heatbeat, if its too early

ps. if you didnt read my last post, i was 12 days late, and still getting bfn, so im guessing i got prego after that, but since i had no period, its tough to figure out

;) i guess if anyone asks ill say 1 to 2 months, sad thing is that i cant get into my ob until 10 weeks, so i think i might fib and say thats in two weeks, and then when i get there ill tell him the story! i got to see him with my last pregnancy at 5 w, but thats because i had a m/c previously, the nurse said since i had a successful pregnancy last time i need to wait;( oh well two weeks is nothing, i guess im in the tww to see the doc;)

That's a hard one, but like Tina says, you could have O'd later and tested too early.  But the chances of you skipping a period and then getting pregnant after that, I'd say you were already pregnant from your January cycle.  

I do believe that the HPT's can take a while to show, as I've heard many women say they didn't find out till 8 weeks.  I guess you weren't charting because that would have been a definite answer.

Please try not to worry.  I'm sure all is fine.  I'm sure they'll catch your little peanut on the ultrasound :-)

It all depends on whether he does an u/s on 1st visit. Some do, some don't. Mine won't til 8 wks, which I am glad because I would freak if all I saw was a sac and had to wait a month. The u/s will give the best info.

I have been following along, quite excited for you I might add. I think you o'd late. It happens, heck, it happened to me this month 1st time(2wks late) Usually a test will turn bpf 2-3 days after implant. Most implant at 8dpo(85%) add 2 wks for af normal time to o. My best guess, mind you GUESS is you are right at 4 wks. There are rare cases where I have read women are farther and it did not show bfp. I think there's more to those stories than they say though.

Congrats again!!! Let me know when you have a date!!
