Irregular Periods & Early Pregnancy: Blood Levels & Ultrasound Findings


Question
I'll sum this up to the basics .. First I have extremely irregular periods .. I can
go months without having one .. 6/5 I went to the ER complaining of stomach
pains and they found I was pregnant .. They took my blood levels and they
were 106 .. I went a couple days later 6/7 or 6/8 and my levels were 435 ..
They took my first ultrasound on 6/24 and they gave me a LMP of 5/7,
conception date of 5/21 and EDD of 2/10/09 .. The measurements of the
embryo at the time was 8mm .. They all go with my blood work.. But its wierd
because I had spotting at the end of April but when I do normally have my
period it is the first week of the month which would go along with this .. I was
sexually active the 3rd of may, then again from the 14 to current .. which
would have been the date when I would have conceived .. What the
ultrasound tech told me ? How off can the first ultrasound be? It said I was
6w6d +/- 3 days .. Does this all sound correct ? What do you feel I should
believe .. Thank you .. Honestly what do you think is the dates and does the
first ultrasound work is this what I should go on ?

Answer
Sofia,
The first ultrasound is all you have to go on. Your periods are so irregular, that it isn't possible to given youa conception dates. You will have to get a paternity test. If you have irregular periods, you don't always ovulate or ovulate irregularly. I am sorry, I know you wanted to hear more concrete answers, but with your irregular cycles, you can't be sure of much. Good luck to you!!
