    Question Dectecting a pregnancy early

    Hey All,
    Well it seems that I have detected my pregnancy early and just wondering if anyone has done the same?
    This is darling # 2 for us, so very excited. With our son I didnt find out until I was 7 weeks!
    I just found out last week that we are pregnant again @ 3 weeks. I went to the doctor on Saturday to confirm and she said yes, it was a 'weak' pregnant (which still means I am pregnant, just that I picked it up early)
    Wishing I had not picked it up so early now as it seems I have even longer to wait!
    My EDD is 13/10/11 (start of last period was 29/12/10 and my cycle length is an average of 36 days)

    Anyway - just wanted to hear from anyone else that picked it up early and how you managed? I am off for blood tests this week to confirm and I also picked up one of the new clear blue tests that tells you how many weeks you are, just to put my mind @ ease. So many websites are so conflicting! I found one very accurate one that says I should be 4 weeks on Thurs

    Cheers in advance

    HIya Mrs BB

    First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    Secondly, I know how you feel, I suspected both of mine at about 7dpo, and tested positive to both at 9dpo...it DID feel like I had ages to wait til we could tell people etc, but I had high levels (as in twins high!) and we told people at 7 weeks!

    As if the TWW isn't bad enough huh?!!

    YAY again!

    I didnt test until 14 DPO but it is very exciting!

    Come and join us here in Belly Buddies due October 1st-15th
    I think there are 5 of us already!

    I keep wanting to buy another test to see if it is real, but the one i did was definitely a line so have to wait to see my doctor now!

    I have always found out early. 4wks, 4wks, 3.5wks and this last time 3weeks 3days.

    I had my first dr's appointment today and she wanted to confirm my pregnancy, but her tests came up negative! Scared me a bit! Her tests aren't as sensitive as the ones I have been using.

    You should come and join in our Belly buddies group - for those of us due Oct 1st -15th. There are a couple of us who already know we are pregnant.

    Thanks ladies!
    Wow, thats early! hmmm, wonder if I am having twins this time, hehe, it does run in the family!
    When did you ladies have a scan to dectect a heartbeat?

    ETA - Thanks misty! I did just pop my head in there so will have to say a proper hello
    Yeah, the doctors test are certainly not as strong as the home preg tests are they!?

    It just feels weird, as with my first pregnancy I was SO sick as I was already so far along. Whereas now I am only starting to feel abit tired and 'off', but that could be just all in my mind?!
