You tell them the date of your last menstrual period and they will use this dial thing, spin it around, it automatically tells the due date.. with some room for error. They aren't 100%.

Since you have PCOS, you might not have had regular periods, if you had any at all.

I would assume that in your case, they might do an ultrasound and try to figure out the gestational age of the baby, then try to guesstimate the due date.

They will most likely use an ultrasound... It's inserted because you are so early in your term.

That's usually for women who have high-risk pregnancies, or are unsure about when they had their last menstrual period.

Keep me updated, I want to see how your appointment goes tomorrow!!

Certain foods will make you even gassier. I'd try to stay away from those foods for about 12 hours before meeting anyone important Smile

Well I experienced a little of that, but nothing that was alarming. I don't really remember honestly.

Since you are at such a high risk for miscarriage, you might want to call a doctor and ask right away.
Just be on the lookout for bright red/pink discharge. Then go to the ER if that happens.

I know! I was told that there was NO WAY I could get pregnant! So, this is making me VERY LUCKY! I brought in both positive tests from the doctor and the doctor ordered another pregnancy test. Why?

I think it's standard that they have their own test done.

My doctor didn't have to test me because when I went to get tested, they gave me a certificate of pregnancy HAHA

Being that you're only 3-4 weeks, the pains could possibly be from implantation.
