Yesterday was our first ultrasound appointment. According to my last period, I should be around 7 weeks pregnant (assuming I had an average cycle and ovulated around October 20th).
On the ultrasound, however, the midwife said the sac only measures around 2 weeks.
Here is what could be going on:
1) The pregnancy could have stopped growing at 2 weeks when I had a high fever from Swine Flu. It may be a missed miscarriage, and I'm carrying a non-viable pregnancy...
Or
2) Breastfeeding may have been the cause to late ovulation, which means I really am only 2 weeks pregnant...
But here's the catch-
On October 27th I had light pink discharge and mild cramping. The mild cramping continued into the first weeks of November. If it was ovulation spotting I'd be around 5 weeks pg, if it was implantation spotting, I would be 6 weeks, right?
I have only had positive pregnancy tests this last week. The tests I took at the beginning of November were Dollar Store tests and have a high possibility of evap lines... Since I have sore breasts and mild cramps, I am assuming guess #2 is correct. But I still don't understand the spotting in October.
Our next ultrasound appointment is on Thursday to see if it has grown and if my hCG levels are rising.
Anyone else experience something like this?
I know I overanalyze!
