4 weeks and 3 days

Today, I went for the ultrasound to get a clearer picture of how many weeks I'm at. Unfortunately I left the office in a less clearer state.

Initially the technician, Maria said she would try to do an abdominal scan to check but being so early in the pregnancy I may need to do a trans-vaginal one to get a clearer picture. True enough the abdominal one showed nothing. So we proceeded with the vaginal one. It was not as uncomfortable as I had imagined. Actually hardly any discomfort at all. But when she finally pin pointed the sac, it appeared to be very small. And after taking all the measurements she told us it was 4 weeks and 3 days! Huh?!

That simply doesn't add up. I kinda questioned her about it. Cos, 2 weeks ago I took the UPT and it was already positive so that should put me at at least 4 weeks. So how can I still be only 4 weeks along? That means the baby was only conceived 2 weeks ago? She didn't have any answers for me but she just said we can check again after 3 weeks and to see what my doctor says. Somehow it didn't sound very convincing.

I got home and of course immediately starting googling for more info. And what I found out made me feel less than happy. From what I can gather a lot of times if the sac measures small it's a sign of it not growing well and will usually result in miscarriage. Of course there were also a lot of people who calculate based on their LMP (last menstrual period) so that's why they calculate wrongly. But I already take that into account. I took the UPT on 13/1/2012 which was positive so that would put me at 3 weeks at least! so I should be at least 5 weeks along. Sigh....I am so confused

The doctor's appointment is next Wednesday so we'll see what he says.

I still don't have any nausea. Prior to the scan I as secretly hoping that maybe this time around I
won't have to face it but now it looks like it's just too early. But it doesn't explain all the indigestion I've been having for the past 4 weeks?!
