Pregnancy Info HOME

Tara- remember sperm can live up to 8 days in the tube, so I wouldn't worry. In fact, most doctors give or take 2 weeks. Yea, they give you a 2 week window. So 5 days isn't bad at all. Plus, its only estimated measurements anyhow. Email me at Jarhead4me2@aol.com and I will give you my 7.5 week ultrasound pic. You can see where my dr. started and ended the measurements. OR, if you have my preggo journal link, its in the first pic under photos. Anyhow, we knew our exact date of conception. Had it down to about the minutes. LOL... even only had sex one day and the first measurements gave me a due date of May 11th. We knew the real due date was May 9th. So, it was 2 days behind. Then the next ultrasound measurements weeks later gave us a due date of May 8th. So 3 days earlier than the first scan. Anyhow, you can have a scan by 2 different people the same day and have the measurement days off. Once again, its only a guess. As long as the heartbeat is showing good, your HCG is doubling, and the fetal pole is growing, it all looks good! It may just have implanted a few days later than ya thought. No biggie! :) ___Helene- I started my slight morning sickness at about 8 weeks. I believe I threw up only twice. Then when I was in my 3rd trimester is when I got real morning sickness. I mean, I could hardly brush my teeth. The spell of anything (even my hubby, lol) would make me sick. My sense of spell was so hightened in the beginning, but got even worse towards the end of the pregnancy which made my sickness even worse. So, morning sickness can come whenever. It doesn't always have to be in the beginning of a pregnancy and it doesn't always have to happen. There is just no way of knowing and every pregnancy can be different. I just hope yours doesn't get worse as you get further like mine did. ALthought the second trimester was the best for sickness, but the worse for backache.
