Wow, ok... I'd been going by CD1 date! I wonder why there's that much of a difference. I usually have a 27 day cycle so going by that I would be 4+3. Would explain why the earlier BFN changed to a BFP so suddenly. Thanks GeCon!

It is a bit crazy how they calculate the due date or date a pregnancy by last menstrual period really.

With my 1st my pregnancy I was dated over a month out due to my long cycles and the MW only going by LMP and not at all listening to me telling them that I knew that I ovulated about a month later than they thought. Had the negative effect that I went to my 12 week scan at only 8 weeks pregnant, so obviously saw a lot less than we would have at 12 weeks. It was only then when they changed my due date.

With this pregnancy I decided to just adjust my LMP to what it would have been with a textbook cycle and told them my CD1 would have been whatever corresponded with my ovulation date.

So if you are confident when you ovulated and want them to use that date, you could tell them that your LMP was 19th September, which would then give you your o date of 3rd and due date accordingly.

Did anyone feel... swollen at 4/5 weeks? I could swear I've put on half a cup size already and low stomach feels a little swollen too - can definitely feel my jeans feel tighter. Really hoping it's going to stick... The baby, I mean, not the swelling!

[GeCon]

Definitely, bunny. I have felt bloated pretty much from the start and to be honest I still do now. When I wake up in the mornings, the bloating is usually not too bad, but as soon as I eat something, it's there... until I go to bed...

Bunnywabbit....all I am is bloat!! Ok, on a serious note, I know I am not pre-E swelling or anything, but I feel like my fat cells have exploded in size. Plus, with all the drama of the knee early on, my running was put on hold and my ability to relax and keep weight/size at bay gone. I hope beyond all hopes that you and all the longtermers get to join us with sticky babies!!

Exciting news, Emily. At least you know things are sorted. When will you be flying out and do you know where you will be giving birth in the UK yet?

I will be flying at the end of November and giving birth in a hospital near my sister. I know people will wonder why I flew half way round the world to give birth on the NHS rather than a super duper private clinic in Bangkok but I just couldn't risk being out there on my own with DS before DH could join us. Don't think DS2 would be much cop as a birthing partner. At least this way if she is early I will have my Mum or sister around.

If I can hold off till 38 weeks on the dot DH will be there albeit jet lagged! DS2 was born at 38 weeks and two days so we should be fine LOL. It is so funny how cavalier I have got about the while thing now that I know I will be in the UK with docs that won't be trying to make a profit out of me and who will speak English.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes, still not sure if it's ok to join you guys because I am too scared I am going to lose this little one again.

The past two days were HELL for me! We've been at a wedding and I had very very little sleep. Huge temp drop on Saturday and Sunday which freaked me out. I was sure it was over again, couldn't stop worrying. Feeling much better today though, temps are going up again and HPT's are still getting darker. I have only two more test left, not going to buy new ones.

Pumpkin. Nice to see you here. Take your time and post as often or as little as you feel comfortable with.

Sorry to hear about your stressful weekend, try to get some rest this week. Nice and dark test, I don't think there is any need for you to get any more either.
