Subject: Re: Conception and Ultrasound Author: Pat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06/21/07 12:02am In reply to: Brandi 's message, "Conception and Ultrasound" on 06/20/07 10:09am Hi, Brandi, You are mostly asking medical questions, and we're not doctors! I don't know the answers to your questions. First trimester ultrasounds are probably not all that accurate because the baby is still pretty small. I wouldn't bet the farm on an ultrasound telling me the correct age at any stage, to be honest. At 7 weeks, your baby's body is complete, just very small. It's June already. With whom did you have sex in April? If you are 7 weeks, that's when it would have happened. Plan B wouldn't do your body any good. It's like using an atom bomb to hit an ant. Our bodies' hormones are delicately balanced. So that could easily have thrown a lot of things out of whack, and makes it hard to determine what is really happening with your body. I am betting you have other issues on your mind. Feel free to let us know what else concerns you. Hugs, Pat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Plan B is basically a high dose of an oral contraceptive, and that can definitely affect your periods. At 7 weeks, I seriously doubt your dating will be 4 weeks off. It's usually within 1-2 weeks of the date. Here is a link on ultrasounds if you want to read more: http://www.ob-ultrasound.net/ If you have any questions or concerns about the dating and timing, it would be good to discuss this with your doctor, But if your ultrasound was done at 7 weeks, and it was 4 weeks off (as in 3 weeks) they would not have seen the embryo on ultrasound most likely. Does your bf know about the other guy at all? Is that why you are so concerned?
