@pfumc Negative tests and no period means you ovulated later than you thought. It's still possible to be pregnant if you've been having regular sex. Pregnancy tests are mostly accurate 14 days after sex and definitive after 21 days.

@dhess They say that because unless you were tracking ovulation in great detail you might be off by a few days. Waiting until you think you're 7 weeks makes it much more likely that you're actually at least 6 weeks.

@helenraiford1 Were you confirmed to be definitely 4 weeks at your last scan? If you are truly 6.5 weeks then yes there should be a heartbeat I'm afraid.

@pastorjerryphd Unfortunately it's the first trimester hormones, there's nothing you can really do about it. I have never been so gassy in my life as I was then. You're at the worst bit as HCG peaks around 9 weeks, so you should start to feel some improvements soon. All you can do is try to...

@tohellwiththedevil The doubling HCG thing only applies in the early days, it slows down once it's over 6000.

@mark6126 So if you had a positive test on the 14th, the absolute latest you could have ovulated would be 10 days before that on the 4th Sept. You could not have ovulated after that date or the test on the 14th would have been negative. A pregnancy conceived on the 4th September would be 7w+4...

@mark6126 Okay. Unfortunately the earliest it's physically possible for you to be today is 7w+4, and that's assuming you get a positive at 10dpo. You would definitely have a fetal pole and heartbeat by now if it was viable I'm afraid, especially as you say you tested later. It sounds like it may...

@napua Yeah - just as a backup plan if a 15 min walk isn't feasible. If you're already having to try and hold back contractions, chances are you'll progress by yourself. It's one of those things where you don't have much choice so there's no point worrying about it. You can figure out getting...

@skyscepter Ok I'll look

@michelle12790 Unfortunately your pregnancy isn't going to be viable, I'm so sorry. It's not physically possible for you to be less than 9w+4 as of today's date.

@napua You may not need the pitocin. Especially as it's your 4th and you're already having contractions. You only need it if labour doesn't get going by itself once your waters have broken. If you end up needing a c section though, I had one in May. I could have done the walk you describe...

@justtrying As you've had pre-e before they should be monitoring you for that. There is a blood test they can do that predicts it before it happens - I had these a few times in my last pregnancy. If baby is still within standard percentiles then there's a good chance they're just petite. It's...

@skyscepter Very low chance

@mark6126 What date did you first get a positive test?

@christobul I was told that as long as you wait 2 years between pregnancies there is no significant increased risk with a second c section. I know plenty of women that have had multiple c sections. I had my first a month ago and I intend to have another in a couple of years.

@justtrying Yeah definitely get that - when I had mine done, they explained that they don't say "X weeks behind", it's all about growth curves, the same as when the baby is born. I would say that there can often be a lot of variation in growth rates. I personally know people that had IUGR and...

@justtrying Have they given you the growth percentiles and measurements of each body part?

@castin Yes. It can't be measuring under 7 weeks, that would mean you got a positive test before you even ovulated. From my experience it will slow down and then stop I'm afraid.

@castin Sadly whenever I've seen this happen on posts like this on reddit or on Facebook it's never ended well. It's just not possible for it to be viable and so far behind unfortunately.

@s33k1ng Generally if you were pregnant you'd get MORE discharge rather than less. Your period will come.
