Is there a simple explaination ??

Back in Jan 07 i was 8 weeks pregnant. At 6 weeks i started bleeding, (29/1/07) went for a scan everything looked normal. Carried on bleeding for 2 weeks. Had another scan 5/02/07 worst fears confirmed i had miscarriaged. :cry:
We wasnt really planning having a baby so decided would wait til end of year before trying again (wishful thinking!!) 2 months later i still hadnt had my period, test showed i was pregnant AGAIN!! Went for a scan 16/04/07 said i was 10+5 weeks gone !!! How could this of happened as that meant was conceived 2/02/07 (you following!!) i was bleeding that week, there was no way would let him near me !!.
So am completley puzzled on this, has anyone had or heard of something similiar ??

Good news is i am 24 weeks now.

Any views ??

The way a pregnancy is worked out is over 40 weeks as you know. However, as they take it from the 1st day of your last period this would mean you are already 2 weeks pregnant before you have even conceived. So whilst in theory it would seem you concieved on 2/2, you obviously never and it will have been somewhere in the following fortnight. You likely got pregnant as soon as was physically possible for you. In Japan they work it out over 42 weeks so if you reach week 42 and still pregnant they induce you no messing around. Its just the way things are done, different countries, different rules. Hope I've explained this ok and its helped ease your mind! Congratulations by the way, excellent news!!

Congratualtions on the news, I haven't heard of this, very strange how the body works tho and it confuses me when trying to work out dates of when I conceived. Im 24 weeks too... Good luck with rest of pregnancy, if you haven't already come join us in the Nov Forum.

hi
i had similar situation. i was 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant on 24th jan when i started bleeding and doctors said i was miscarying. had blood test to confirm my levels were dropping. beginning of march i did a test as felt like i did before and it was positive, doctors did tests and confirmed that i was and that i must have concieved around 5-7th feb. like u my other half was not allowed near me 1- as i wasstill bleeding (sorry tmi) and 2 - last thing i wanted was to have sex when i had jsut lost my baby. so i was/am as confused as you. the doctors have not been able to answer my questions properly and went off the day i miscarried as my last period. all i know is that i am now 24 +2 weeks pregnant!!
Try not to worry to much, i know easier said than done but try and concentrate on that little baby growing!!
I know this has not really helped but so u know that ur not alone and others have had it happen!
