Docotor says im 2 weeks pregnant but by my calculations im not?
found out on the 22/06/2010 that i am pregnant by doing a 2 home preg test so went to the doctor the next day an he gave me another urine test which also said i was preggers so had a blood test which says my HCG levels were 200 an something putting me around 2 weeks but last month i got my ladies on the 25th i also figured i was pregnant because i was spotting (implantation bleeding on the tuesday 22/06/2010) which would make me 4 weeks so confused could anyone help thanks the doctor didnt ask any dates just sent me for a blood test an went by my HCG levels

doc is off his tree!
two weeks "pregnant" is what you generally are at ovulation as pregnancy weeks start from last AF - so if your last AF was may 25 i'd say you're up to about 4 weeks (give or take - i'm too slack to look at calendar)
congratulations on your pregnancy!

yeh i was certain that you couldnt even tell ur pregnant at 2 weeks ?? haha silly doctor thanks for your help i thought i was around the 4 week mark espiecally with the implatation bleeing i read happens around the 4 week mark! thanks again i was so confused

What the?!?!

Bit strange if you ask me.

Pregnancy is always dated from the first day of your last period! So from the dates you've listed you would be just over 4 weeks.

Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy journey!

great thanks guys i knew i wasnt 2 weeks !! haha my doctor is silly !! think i might change doctors since he doesnt know what his talking about do you think this is a good idea will they have to send me for a blood test all over again or can my new doctor get information from my old doctor (current doc) thanks again

You should be able to get your records sent over to your new Dr when you get one.

You'll probably have to sign a consent form.

I'd even wait until your about 6 weeks before you go to your next Dr. That way you can go for a dating scan. That way you can be sure how far along you actually are.

Not all pregnancies are dated from your LMP. Mine for example cannot be as I ovulated later in the month than normal. And my hcg levels and dating scan backed that up.

So maybe go back and ask him about it. If the hcg levels are indicating your only early on, it may be possible you ovulated later than normal so going by your LMP may not be accurate.

Congrats on being pregnant though!

it was exactly 28 days since my first ladies on the 25th of may.. so very normal cycle but thanks will go to a new doctor but do i wait for 2 weeks or 4?? lol so confused my doc said to come back in a month by his calculations 6 weeks(so 4 weeks from now) but by my calculation which im sure is correct that only 2 weeks time :0

Congratulations! Firstly on your pregnancy, and secondly on being smarter than a doctor!

Where in Brissy are you? You definitely need to see a new doctor.

Go whenever, I went at 4 weeks and got the referral then for an early scan (for viability though, not dating) and booked it for when I was 7w2d.

[ebsta]

hehehe my gosh im so glad i posted on here thanks everyone for the support i knew i couldnt be 2 weeks urine tests dont show your preg at 2 weeks silly doctor.. i am located in logan (southside of brissy). could you suggest a doctor??

[briggsy's girl]

i guess what your doc was saying is that you ovulated about 2 weeks beforehand - which makes sense - he just didn't word it right!

i would wait another 2 ish weeks (makes you 6weeks) before seeing the doctor - given the confusion with dates by this GP you may be sent for a dating scan

oh, and LMP is fine to go by IF you have a 28 day cycle - if i went by LMP for my two natural pregnancies (which i lost at around 5 and anywhere from 9-14 weeks) i would have been as much as nine months on that theory!

If your blood test result had a HCG level of 200 then by the HCG levels your pregnancy is only at a 2 week stage. Hopefully your levels will double and triple in the next few weeks and sort itself out. A low HCG count isnt good.

Ask for another blood test next week to see how much the levels have risen by.... Best of Luck and Congratulations

[ebsta]

yeh although my hcg levels were very high 200's only just in the 1-2 weeks preg mark..almost in the 3-4 range an i got those results two days after i first tested so im guessing it was much higher the day i got the results back but will def go to another doc an get a second opinion and another blood test just to be on the safe side

mine at 16 DPO were only 27 - and i have a healthy one year old now! (and it was an assisted conception baby so we know when i ovulated)



at two weeks pregnant (when talking of a 40 week pregnancy) you are only just ovulating - for at least another 6 days you don't have a HCG reading as the embryo hasn't implanted. a reading in the high 200's is a very good reading for two weeks post-ovulation (4 weeks pregnant)

[ebsta]

wow its all so confusing .. so i am 4 weeks but two weeks past ovulation?? sorry i must seem so silly cause im not getting it :S
