Do You Go With Science Or Your Body? Posted: 09-06-07 19:53pm
I had consensual sex on July 13 and 14. I
was forced on July 28th to have sex with
someone else. I know for a fact that my
period ended July 12 so that means that I
started about July 6 or 7th. According to
ultrasound my due date is April 23.
Counting 40 weeks back from then is July
18. Nowhere near the "bad one". But
according to ultrasound I concieved around
July 28th or so... And according to the
wheel thingy that the doctors use the
first day of my last period was July 15th
which I know for a fact is wrong... I was
told that it is possible that with all the
stress that I have been under that it kind
of "stunted" the growth of the baby and
that is why they say for pregnant women
not to be under stress, because it can be
harmful... Could strss be a result of the
ultrasound not being accurate? Are they
100% accurate so early on in a pregnanxy?
So do I go based with science or according
to my body? Please help.

ok wait im confused lol too many numbers
and days
so how far along are you estimated to be
right now?
early ultrasounds are not always right
sometimes they chance your EDD later on in
your pregnancy

You would actually only count 38 weeks
back from your due date. When you go with
a 40 week plan the first two weeks are
before ovulation or conception occurs.
Ovulationg occurs at the beginning of the
third week. I don't think I'm making a lot
of sense but you're doctor is right. The
growth of your baby wouldn't have been
stunted like that. They are all just about
the same size in the beginning.

Did everyone notice that she said she was
"forced" to have sex???
I think instead of worrying about dates,
you need to deal with that issue first.

First I would like to say congratulations
on the pregnancy!
Second, I would like to say how sorry I am
that you had to go though such a horrible
experience, only to cause you this much
stress in a time that should be filled
with so many other stresses.
Ok, was the incident reported? If so, in
cases like this, the state may pay for an
early paternity tests. There are risks
involved. Only you know how you would feel
and handle the results. I also think that
counseling might be something to look
into.
Are your doctors aware of the situation?
If so, what is there opinion?
We are here for you if you need to talk
about anything. It doesn't have to be
pregnancy related, even though in this
case it is. PM me if you want to talk.

I'm sorry guys! My brain just hasn't been
here lately. That really does need to be
addressed first.

I am very sorry to everyone, I do not
quite know how to use this still. I am
trying to teach myself. No, unfortunately
I did not report the incident. If I do
then the "bad one" will know that it is a
possibility that he fathered a child... As
far as I am concerned he took the right to
know he "possibly" fathered a child away
when he stole what he took from me... I
know it isn't the right thing to do, but I
do not want him anywhere in my life. I am
talking to my doctor about what happened
so that I can handle it as best as
possible. My only thing was trying to
figure out these dates... I have been told
that if someone is under a lot of stress
and depression that it can make the embryo
smaller in the ultrasounds so then it
would apprear that you are not as far
along as you actually are... I have also
read that you cannot hear a hearbeat until
after day 42... If that is the case, then
it would have to be the "good one" because
I had an ultrasound about 30 days after
conception would have occured... Thanks to
all who congratulated me. I would be
extatic if it is the good one... Still
getting used to the fact that it may be
the "bad ones"... I hope that I am doing
this right in replying...
