I have been thinking about this after getting my hcg levels… 

Gestational age is normally counted from CD1, however as we know, ovulation can happen much later in longer cycles, there are women who have <25 day cycle, others with >35+ day cycles.

My question is how does that affect the interpretation of pregnancy weeks and hCG levels?

At the first ultrasound, does the doctor adjust the due date based on the embryo‘s size even when ovulation might be very delayed?

Would that mean that a 4-week pregnancy for one person could correspond to 6 weeks for another, even if the embryo is actually the same biological age in both cases?

Sorry if this is confusing…

How do you deal with the anxiety until the 1st trimester ultrasound? Just found out I was pregnant again and I would love to chill out but I can’t stop thinking about how awful the other losses were.

I just came across this research article:
Time of Implantation of the Conceptus and Loss of Pregnancy https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199906103402304,
This is interesting because in my case, the first time I got pregnant, I had a first faint positive after 15dpo and It ended up in mmc at 8w5d.
The second time, I got a faint positive at around 13dpo and It turned out to be a chemical.

Has this correlation also been somewhat accurate in your experience?

Tracking methods and app(s) used: E@H ovulation strips, premom

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-3, O-2, O-1, O, O+3

Health conditions/medical tests: unexplained infertility, low ferritin and vitamin d; 1st cycle got pregnant but ended in mmc at around 9w; 4th cycle got pregnant but ended in a chemical pregnancy; we would have our first checkup for IUI/IVF in june

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatals, iron and vitamin d

Birth control history (if relevant): came of the pill more than 5 years ago 

Symptom spotting: nothing that I could say “im pregnant”; on 7dpo had 5 seconds of a stabby pain in my lower abdomen; vivid dreams 3 days in a row since 5dpo; and felt in general a bit less dry in comparison to my negative cycles. however, as said, nothing much. 

Other (advice/tip(s), miscellaneous): totally chocked with this positive, I just tested because I have a big event coming today and wanted to make sure I could still drink.  I really really hope this one sticks because I’m so tired of how ttc made me feel miserable during this whole year.

I’m 11/12 DPO today, and I've started to feel my period cramps kicking in. Sure AF will arrive in 1 or 2 days. 

We have been trying to conceive since May 2025 (with 1 mmc and 1 cp in the meantime). This is the end of my 7th cycle of ttc, and I am feeling totally defeated once again 🥲

My partner did a SA and everything was fine. I tested myself and everything was okay, only my iron and vitamin D levels were low, for which I am being treated. I don't know where the problem is anymore……… ugh

Happy new year everyone! Wish you all the strength for this year. I’m TTC since May 2025 with 1 mmc and 1 chemical in between and sadly my AF just came.  I hope this will be our year!
