    I thought they could tell from a blood test also ??? Either way though you have to wait for your GP but your blood tests might come in sooner thn you can get an US depending on where you live

    I just thought of something, I think they can get a rough idea from either your bloods or your urine. Whatever those pregnancy level thingy mibobs are (I am having a shocking night)found in. Is it the level of HCG???

    I didnt find out i was pregnant with DD until 12 weeks.

    I'm pretty sure they only way to know your gestation is via ultrasound. Even a blood test wouldnt tell for sure because everyones HCG goes up at different paces.

    thanks everyone. With the HCG dating, I think your levels spike at approx. 10 weeks then decrease slightly, so I don't know how accurate the dating would be?
