Wow didn't expect such quick replies! Thanks guys (must be due to the time difference - i posted that last night then went to bed, and i'm in bed now drinking my decaf coffee and slurping my actimel at 7.15 am, reading all your lovely messages!).

So when you say I'm 3 wks pg is that my fetal age? cos it's normally 2 wks less than your gestational age isn't it? but obviously that's for people who conceive 2 wks post-af, so my gestational age could perhaps be almost 3 wks plus my fetal age cos i conceived 20 days post-af...?

correct me if i'm wrong but i understand gestational age to be how pg you tell people you are, and how you work our your due date - so on a 28 day cycle you could be 6 wks pg (gest) but only 4 wks pg (fet), whereas i would be 6 wks pg (gest) but only just over 3 wks pg (fet)???

gosh this is getting mighty confusing!! thanks again and congrats on your bfps too - would love to be belly-buddies please!! (can't talk to any of my mates with kids about this as not telling anyone yet! figure will wait till next week, do another hpt, see the doctor / midwife and then tell family).

neat xxx

PS - sounds crazy but i'm actually looking forward to getting morning sickness as it will mean i'm still pg and apparently people with m/s have less miscarriages as it's your body's natural defense mechanism or sth...
