oooh I love doing maths!!
Ok, going on a 28 day cycle where ovulation is day 14 ish.
3rd Nov u ovulated (as per ov test?)
so if things went to plan and you conceived around that time, 2 wwwks after ov you would have got a positive (17th Nov).
You say you didnt do a test until 28th and it was positive. If you were positive from 17th you would be just over 5 wks when you did your test and would have got a 3+, which you did.
Id say you are around 5 and half weeks then. The clearblue digital are very accurate so id go wth that til you have your scan.

Thanks Browz for answering my posts! You are very kind

I really hope that I am 5+ weeks.. It makes sense and when I add it up like that, It does seem that I could be 5+ weeks... Just don't know why my doctor kept saying I was about 4 weeks.
The only thing is that I don't have regular cycles so I have to take that into consideration when trying to calculate it.. But the info on when I ov'd and when I BD'ed are all there and that's the evidence as well.
It's such a pity I didn't continue to do HPT's after the 2 weeks wait and I would have gotten a closer and accurate date.
I really want to book a scan but don't want to go unless I can see the heartbeat. That would mean the world to me

and be the BEST Christmas present in the world.
There has to be other girls who have irregular cycles who had to guess their dates too!!
But Browz I like your Maths style.. I'll give you an A+++ (I really want it to be 5+ weeks!

)

You can calculate due date if you know conception date so going by your dates, that's around Nov 3rd/4th ??
That makes you around 5 weeks if you put in one those dates. Due end of July

An early scan should give you a good indication of due date too.
Congratulations by the way

Thanks ChristmasBaby - Congratulations to you too - You are just about there! That must be an incredible feeling...
Everytime I put the 3rd or 4th November into a pregnancy due date calculator - It comes up with either 8th or 9th of August???
ETA - and then it tells me that I am only 3 weeks pregnant!!
So weird

Thanks! Yeah exciting times here alright!
Think that's because it's counting the 3rd/4th Nov as the first day of last period.
On that link I put up, make sure you tick the box 'date I conceived' before putting in the date & that should do it. Gives the 27th July as due date

Hope that helps

you put the first date of your last period in to the calculator. So if you ov'd nov 3rd, your lmp may have been about oct 20th. (2 weeks before). Basically my LMP was Aug 3rd 2010. my GP added 9 months & one week. My due date was may 10th 2011. My DS was born may 1st (section).
I know you were saying your cycles are long, but there is a time frame the babies development falls into & if you are getting a BFP then there is a good amount of pregnancy hormone. So if you ovd nov 3rd, then when adding the 2 weeks back to your af,which your GP will do, you are 6 weeks tomorrow. You'd be due around the 27th of July. A scan is the best way to tell the dates for certain.

Well if you have really long cycles you may well have ovd 4 weeks after your af. you know ovulation sticks pick up pregnancy hormone too, but you did have a few neg tests before your BFP, so I think you just ov'd late. YOur GP will go by your LMP for now. My cycles were always long, 31 to 33 days but my GP just went with regular calculations. Anyway congrats on your pregnancy

exciting times!!!
