I'm just posting an update about my weird pregnancy.
I went to the doctor today to get a basic confirmation of pregnancy and due date (for insurance).
They are saying I'm probably about 4 weeks pregnant based on my LMP which was actually a m/c around 2/25/10 to 3/5/10 (I don't remember) One weird thing is, I haven't had an actual period since December.  I think it is closer to 6 weeks though because I had a BFP about two weeks ago.
Another weird thing is that were using BC and the nurse who calculated my due date was just as bewildered as I was upon seeing the BFP.  She even said "How could this happen?".  
So I am hoping for the best and that I am able to handle this pregnancy and have a happy and healthy baby.  They took my hcg today so I'm looking forward to finding out what it is.  I will probably have an appointment in a week or so, depending on the hcg.
I appreciate any prayers and good thoughts.  I will be thinkikng of each of you, also.

I'm not an expert at all in Ultrasounds. (When I had my first two kids the standard practice was only one ultrasound per pregnancy and that at 16 weeks.)

The last pregnancy they did about 4 or 5 to figure out the due date and I had some problems.

I'm pretty sure your doctor wants to do an Ultrasound so that they can see the heartbeat and baby and make sure everything is going well.  I have read that they can see a heartbeat before they can hear it sometimes.

means she told me that it's too early to hear heartbeats..

Hi Everyone,  I thought I would write a note here again.  I was pregnant and had a m/c over a month ago at 7 weeks.  We weren't try to get pregnant but it was still hard.  We were using non-hormonal b/c (as I have an aneurysm and am not a candidate for it) and when I didn't get AF this month I figured my hcg was still high from the m/c.  It turns  out I am pregnant again, miraculously, so I am accepting this as a blessing and hoping for the best.
I'm not sure how far along I would be now, probably 6 weeks.  I hope everyone has a great pregnancy.
