    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!

    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!

    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!
