I don't know how far along I am?

I am pregnant but don't know how far along I am. I had a light cycle(3 dats, usually lasts 5-6days) last month but all my symptoms point to being farther along than suggested by the online calculator... I was pms'ing or so I thought 2 weeks before my cycle was due to turn on. I took a home pregnancy test when I should have been 4weeks, 2 days and it was positive. I am waiting on my work health care to kick in. What should I do?

I would love to find out but, I work for a small law firm and the lady in charge of sending me health care information still hasn't sent me ANYTHING so I cannot do anything until I know what direction to move in.
I have decided that I will continue to ask her everyday until she sends me the documents. Of she hasn't sent them to me by Monday I will show up at her office and stay until I get them.
I will fill them out and ask everyday until she sends them. So sad that I have to behave such a way to get the right thing done, right?!
I have a question.
If my health insurance finds out that I was pregnant before I have health care will they deem it a pre existing condition and not pay for care? I was told 2 different opinions and do not know for sure so I have been hiding the fact that I am between 6-9 weeks pregnant.

A lot of insurance  companies  will backdate so you do t have to wait  some backdate bills as far as 90 days
you should  look into it

You can always try a free clinic, in some states depending on how much you make you may qualify for free reproductive health care which includes early pregnancy tests and scans.

about a month. i just became eligible and i submitted a request but they haven't sent me any docs to fill out. it takes 1 month from the time they enroll you before it's effective. I have started folic acid and prenatal vitamins and feel great. But, I lost a baby last time I was pregnant at 16 weeks and nearly lost my life. I am 33, 34 next month and would really like some answers and reassurance.
I may call the health dept and see what they say.
Thank you!!

I'm in the same boat!  I'm guessing I'm almost 9 weeks from my last cycle but it was weird like I spotted for 2 days then had heavy heavy spotting for another 4 days which I never spot it always just comes for its week and leaves as quick as it started.  But I won't have insurance where I just moved to until hopefully next month

How long until your health care is available. I would maybe just start on some prenatal vitamins now. My doctor wanted to see me around 8 weeks to confirm. You could phone a clinic and see what options are available to you. A lot if times a doctor's office gives discounts for non insured customers.
