QuestionI am only 5 or 6 weeks pregnant and my stomach is already sticking out too much. I had the nuvaring and I am afraid that maybe I am further I only had a period for 2 days the last time and then me and my husband planned this. I have never had a regular period so I didnt think anything about it. Thanks Meissa
AnswerHi Melissa,
I can relate to your situation. I was on Depo Provera, and I missed periods all the time. Its common not to have a period on the needle.
I suspected I was pregnant, when I noticed my nipples were dark. I went to the doctor, and figered I was about 4 weeks. I went for an ultra sound, and found out I was 16 weeks. You can imagine my surprise ..lol
Quite possible, that last period you had, was not a period. It could have been implantation bleeding, which is often confused as a period. So really, you could possible be about, or a little over the 10 week mark, possible even 12 weeks.
The only way to know for sure is to have an ultra sound done. It will give you a fairly accurate gestational age of your baby.
I would definatly talk to you doctor about this, and tell him now that you are unsure if the last "period" you had, was really a period.
A ultra sound, will give you a very close gestational date.
Keep in mind as well, sometimes when woman show very early, it also could mean they are possibly carrying more then one baby ..but an ultra sound will answer that question to :)
Hope this is of some help :) And thanks for writing.
