Hello. Well i am having an issue and i need some answers.well i went to the doctor two weeks ago just for a normal check up, and i had a feeling that i was pregnant. the doctor said it would be to early to find out and to come back in two weeks. well i finally took a pregnancy test today and it came back that i was. i took another one just to be sure and it came the same. my only worry is that i dont know how far along i am, because i had just got off of birth control and didnt have a regular period but just spotting and i cant remember those dates? what should i do? and would the doctor be able to tell?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the number of weeks of pregnancy can be known by the help of ultrasound. Ultrasound taken in 1st trimester will help us to know the age of pregnancy with accuracy. So you need not worry about it. The abdominal ultrasound will be able to diagnose the pregnancy between 6-7 weeks. And the transvaginal ultrasound detects the pregnancy between 5-6 weeks. Serum BChatDoctor testing can be done, but it is not accurate. So ultrasound which is a non-invasive technique is accurate. Hope this helps. Best regards...
