Weird question ladies- these prego apps and such that say what is happening to baby each week are confusing me with dates. If first day of last AF is day 1, then I am day 39. Was day 1-7 week 1 or week zero? I ask because I know I am 5 weeks and 4 days but if day 1-7 is week 1 and day 7-14 is week 2 then day 29-35 would be week 5 does that mean I am in the 6th week or in the 5th week because I am 5w4d? I hope that made sense. Sorry for being picky, I just want to be sure.

Other news, nausea has started but only if I go too long without eating or smell something terrible. Gonna put some crackers or granola bars in my purse so I am not caught in a situation where I need food.
I am traveling to see my sister later this week on the other side of the country (trip planned long before I was prego) and she will be the first person I tell other than hubby. She is one of my best friends so I am excited to tell her and have her to talk to about it.

1-6 is week a week and AF is +1day... for example... AF is day 1 =Oct 1st, you are +1 day, you are 1week +0 on Oct 7th, you are 1w1day on Oct 8th... Then 2w0d on Oct 14th... so forth. Hope that helped and didn't further confuse you, haha!

Def keep your blood sugar from plummeting, it also brought on awful headaches for me! Have a safe trip! Pack snacks and Gum (minty gum)... really helped me if I got nauseous!

I was really confused too Girliecat.
Which app are you on ?
I'm on Ovia
I am sweating loads...is that a pregnancy thing ? Like seriously, I am freaking out about it a bit, have had two showers a day the last week, and used really strong deodorant, but still getting wet patches yuckk

Thanks. I understand how to figure out how many weeks and days I am, but some apps say "in the 5th week your baby..." so technically if someone is 4w3d they are in their 5th week since at example 0w5d was week 1- but I don't know if that is what the apps or books mean. If I am 5w5d then is that the 5th week or 6th week?

Haha, I figured you got it! Sorry, I over explain things... I guess that comes with having 4 little ones.

What mamamia said! 5w5d means your in your 6th wk.

I called lapcorp and they have the Informa test- which includes gender. 950.00 thru insurance, and 477.00 if you pay out of pocket at the time of the test. My insurance won't cover it. I don't really know any where else to look into in our area. I am considering it, tho.

Sorry for thread crashing but.... bre you should go to the Panorama (it might actually be the Harmony test I'm thinking of here) website and see if there is a lab in your area. I have heard of lots of women on here who call them to get details about how they can get the test when they don't have insurance coverage. I think it's usually around $200. It's definitely worth at least calling to find out. There's also MaterniT21Plus, VisibiliT, Harmony, and Verifi. I don't know if they give discounts but you could call. I hope this helps.

Piggybacking on what momamia4 said, definitely investigate the MaterniT21 test. I read recently that they've capped the max out-of-pocket cost at $140 or so.

Thank you, I appreciate any information!!
I have been searching! I called a few places... but I won't even get an authorization from the Dr's here because I am not high risk... I am searching but all I have found is labcorp where I do not need a dr authorization. I work with our military insurance and they only authorize the QUAD testing unless you are referred to maternal fetal medicine.

We'll probably wait for the US.

I called sequenom, for materniT21 and they said out of pocket would 695.00 and I need an authorization. I even found a lab that could draw it and send it. I am lost, lol!
