Hi parying4agirl! Good to see you again! I also think this is not a reason to worry. The babies are so small at this stage that if the sonographer puts the marks for the measurement of the size only some mm wrong, it will make a difference of several days. And maybe baby was turned slightly and the sonographer did not measure the whole length of the baby. I had an ultrasound last week as well and baby was lying between the yolk sac and the edge if the uterus and I saw that the sonographer was rather guessing where to put the marks for the size measurement.
I could imagine that at your next u/s baby's size will match with your positive opk again.
How are you doing? I have had very bad nausea and vomiting but the last days it seems to be getting a little better finally...

Hi Verena, thanks for your message. Yes the sonographer did say not to worry but guess their paid to say that lol.
Ive had bad nausea too, caught a virus off my lil boy which totally threw me, shot my tastebuds and i couldnt stomach any food. Had to go hosp for fluids as i just couldnt get out of bed!
When are u finding out gender?

Oh no, that sounds terrible I hope everyone is feeling better at your house!
I'm thinking a lot about getting a NIPT test done. I told my doc to take blood for the test at our next appointment, which is on tuesday already but those tests also give you results on some chromosomal anormalies and I'm not sure if I want to find out about that. Unfortunately there is no gender only test... Are you still not finding out?

I would not worry about that small a discrepancy, I agree 100% with what Verena says that while ultrasounds ~can~ be extremely accurate, in the real world the techs get in a hurry and just ballpark things and it's not at all unusual for them to get things a little off in either direction. FX and I hope you're feeling better!

Thanks Atomic - i havent been feeling positive in this preg so was concerned.
Ive got my 12 week scan end of this month and thats when they’ll do downs screening etc.
Im still keen on not finding out, tbh ive convinced myself its a boy so if by chance it is a girl then happy days.
Verena can thy just not tell u the chromeosome results if u dont want to know...?
My lil one still so ill and drs give nothing! I seriously need to consider giving up work too as i have no energy anymore 😭 proper been feeling sorry for my past oast week or so

You may get out of the first trimester and have lots of energy, though. You never know. I hope things are looking up soon!

Oh no I'm so so very sorry!! Have you tried very sour candy?? (I have a recollection we talked about this already, sorry for being repetitive if we did) That is what got me through a few of my pregnancies.

2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
