help conception date question

[lb8719]

hi , im hoping to get some help in relation to dates and if they can be a few weeks off..

situation is- my due date based on my lmp is 27th Jan 2017 but by scan it was changed to Feb 2nd (had dating scan and was told was 5mm baby and 6weeks and 1 day . thought i was more 8 weeks)

i Need to be SURE THAT I COULDNT HAVE CONCIEVED ON APRIL 22ND...........

Mine is the exact opposite from you my early ultrasound due date is February 2. My due date now is January 27th. I no for sure my lmp was may 2-5 or 6. I'm measuring ahead

It doesn't sound like it.  It sounds like you conceived around May 12.  Sperm would not have lasted from April 22 to May 12 in your system.

[lb8719]

possible conception dates are april 22nd or may 9th-onwards . im just stressing that somehow it could be possible . can the early scan be off by that amount ?

[lb8719]

also last perios was on 21.04

[AnnieBrooke]

Early scans are not off by that amount.  Women don't ovulate when they are menstruating.  Try to trust medical science instead of taking counsel of your fears.

Ok thank you

so sorry to bother you again - im just driving myself crazy and have been this whole pregnancy :( ive googled to death and can see some article say the ultrasound can be up to 5 days off - that  plus the 5-7 days sperm could survive doesn't that enter me in the time frame where there could be a possibility of guy a(22nd April )

due date by lmp-27th Jan
by early us 02.02.2017

thanks

If you are driving yourself crazy, see a counselor.  This is probably just displaced anxiety or guilt.  By now I'm sure that you know that your early ultrasound suggests you conceived around May 12.  Sperm would not have lasted from April 22 to May 12 in your system and early ultrasounds are not that far off.

annie,

original -edd- 27.01.2017-

ive got this off a conception calucator site- Most probable conception date: May 1, 2016 - May 5, 2016
Most probable sexual intercourse date that lead to the pregnancy: Apr 28, 2016 - May 5, 2016

Possible conception date: Apr 30, 2016 - May 10, 2016
Possible sexual intercourse date that led to the pregnancy: Apr 25, 2016 - May 10, 2016



april 25th is very close to 22.04...

Hi, lb, did the online calculator read your ultrasound chart with its medical degree?  Once the baby is seen and measured by ultrasound, there is no point in counting forward from a last period, which is all that online calculators do.  Women do not always ovulate two weeks after their last period, many women ovulate later or earlier.  The ultrasound saw and measured your actual baby, you could have had a last period a year ago and that will not change the size of the embryo and what that size reveals about when your ovulation was.

If you can't stop this obsessive measuring and worrying, I guess you are just going to have to keep doing it and doing it, but the doctor measured your baby and gave you a date.

i know all this and feel like its 100% okay ...and i dont know why i am even still stressing about it :( well i do know as if its any different outcome i feel like my whole world will come crashing down  but thats something that i just have to deal with

Thanks for all your help

[lb8719]

i know Annie - Im just being a crazy lady !! Thanks for your help . I feel like somehow no matter how many medical facts i have im just believing the worse as im so scared i would wreck and loose everything but i just have to let go and deal with my mistake

thanks

See a counselor or therapist.  It's obviously not the dates that are really bugging you, so all the answers in the world about dates won't help.  Get to the root of the anxiety and deal with that.

[AnnieBrooke]

Just one piece of advice, too.  You said you need to know "FOR SURE THAT I COULDNT HAVE CONCIEVED ON APRIL 22ND..........."  -- sometimes it helps to pull up the reins of the runaway fear horse and say, "Oh yeah?  Or what?"  In other words, what would really happen if your fears came true?  Embarrassment, of course, and having to re-think some plans.  But time would go by on your embarrassment, and you would still have a wonderful baby and child to love and raise. Every women in the infertility forum would give their right arm to be where you are exactly right now and would not give a damn who the dad was if they had the wonderful gift of being pregnant.  Please think about this.  Your life will go on and you will have a good one.  Listen to your doctor, and stop mucking around in unreasoning fears.  You have it made.

Annie just thought id let you know i actually gave you the wrong due date its feb 6th not feb 2ns (based from that first US) so this makes it even more impossible for mr A to be possible , i have finally let it all go

Thanks
