Due date...

I just found out I am pregnant today! I am very excited however I am super curious how to determine my due date. I have irregular periods and haven't had one since April and I know I am not 15 weeks along. First off I don't look 15 weeks and I didnt start have symptoms until about a month ago. So how to I figure out my due date? Any advice would be great!

To be honest, the day I finally got a positive, I called the doctor.  They sent over and order for a blood test.  I ran in there quick and the next morning they were able to narrow mine down to 8-10 weeks.  I did the math and found it to be 9 weeks 3d.  Good luck!

Also did you take any pregnancy tests to see if you were pregnant? I did every month and it didn't stick until this month....idk like I said I have to wait I guess.

Symptoms and looks don't mean a thing, my dear! I don't mean to sound rude when saying.that either, I just had to learn the hard way because I was somewhat in the same boat" I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was getting.a CAT scan to localize a mass in my.back that I had to have surgery to remove. They saw the little guy in my CAT scan and set up an iltrasound to determine how far along I was. I am like you, as I have verrrry unnatural period patterns. (I've gone over half a year without one in the past). During my ultrasound I found out that I was 19 weeks and 1 day pregnant, and could even tell.the sex.the same appointment! I had absolutely NO symptoms whatsoever, and I am 6 months lregnant right now, and barely look 2. I didn't even start showing until last week. Just keep this in mind:)

Thank you! Another reason why I don't think I am that far along is I have been testing every month and they have been all negative until today which was bright pink positive. But I guess I will have to wait and see. :)

Only a doctor can tell you by either doing s blood test to check your hormone levels or a scan. They do normally date it from your ladt period though. Some women dont have signs until their further on. I hope this helps you..

Congratulations! :-)
