Hi all, we had ICSI and now we got blessed with a pregnancy, as it was ICSI there is no guessing of when we got pregnant last Friday was 7 weeks but the scan showed 8 weeks and 6 days! I m only asking as I m suffering nausea and sickness and I m hopeful that it might follow the baby's development not the real count.
My question is can anyone explain why such a difference in dating the pregnancy?
Congratulations . Someone was trying to explain dating to me yesterday . I'm 3- 4 weeks pregnant and have scan booked for 20th June, when I should be 5 and half -6 weeks pregnant by then , but apparently they date it from your last period . So you have to add another few weeks .
I still don't really get it . Lol xx
Hi Aimaim77, once I told them about the ICSI no one asked me about my last periods as the drugs stop the cycle before conception. The 8 weeks 6 days was given from the baby's measurement on the scan while the due date was given based on egg fertilisation.
How have you got a scan @ 5-6 weeks? Is it a private one? xxx
As it s ICSI they do a viability one before the discharge you from the assisted conception unit.
Oh i see! thank you for verifying that for me and wish you all the best xxx
Thank you.
Haha, that was me trying to explain how the dates work! Best thing is to just use this handy calculator based on your ec. fertilityfriends.co.uk/inde...
Medically, they always add on 2 weeks because in a natural cycle, date of ovulation is unknown so they go from day 1 of last period, which is usually 2 weeks before ovulation and in your case, 2 weeks before ec.
I am so surprised that your clinics didn't explain any of this, why do they assume people know if you haven't been pregnant without IVF.
Tank you i ll give it a read.
The due date is exactly what I counted and the baby date is exactly what the nurses measured, handy little tool thank you Tlove.
Anyone else had similar issue?
Feeling so rough
Plz advice, m I pregnant or not
SO so tired at 8 weeks and can't get in control of morning sickness this time around
