Hi everyone,

I found out I was pregnant on Wednesday by a positive pregnant test.

Today I'm 4 weeks and 2 days since my last period and after reading a pregnancy book last night it explained that if you are 4 weeks gestational then your baby is 2 weeks old.

The blood test results came back that my levels were showing I was just under 3 weeks along.

Can anyone please tell me if this is fairly normal? That a blood test will tell me that I'm less than my gestational weeks because conception didn't occur until 2 weeks after my period?

I thought I had it all sorted in my head but now I'm wondering if I was wrong and that the blood test should have shown higher levels of HCG to line up with my gestational dating.

The doctor told me to wait a few weeks before going back and he'll perform some more tests and I'll have an ultrasound. I think he's just making sure I get through the next 2 weeks or so. And if I get through the next 2 weeks without complications I'll be 6 weeks gestational does that mean that this is the earliest time they can find something via an ultrasound? I know that right now they could confirm pregnancy by an ultrasound but they wouldn't be able to see very much.

Am I worrying too much? This is my first pregnancy so I'm still learning
