  • Try to relax and not worry too much.  Doctors prepare you for the worst usually.  If you are not having severe cramping and or bleeding then you should wait it out.  You cannot see anything at 3 weeks, and often nothing at 5 weeks.  My old doctor would not even do and ultrasound till after your HCG reached 1200 or more.  Oh and you could have ovulated late so that could have you a little behind as well.  Don't let them jump the gun.  As others have said on here, there is a good chance all is well. 

    Take care hun.

  • Last Menstral Period.

    if its a normal 28 day cycle, its pretty easy to "know" how far you are, if your not regular, then its a bit harder to know how far you are.

    what is a lmp?
    Quoting mom2_1princess:

    well... 750 would be high for being 3 weeks along, but perfectly normal at 5 weeks.  when was your LMP?  Do they think that you may be three weeks from ovulation, or three weeks pregnant, because that would make a difference.  Just because they cant see it on an ultrasound, doesnt necessarily mean it's ectopic...  fyi they CAN see ectopic pregnancies on ultrasounds too.  They are supposed to be able to see pregnancies on ultrasound by 6 weeks or once the HCG reaches a certain level...  I'd give it a little while and then do another ultrasound.  On the flipside though, if it is actually ectopic, it can be dangerous, but honestly would most likely be very painful and you would KNOW.

  • You can google due date estimator and put in ur lmp date and it will calculate it for you. According to Parents.com calculator you are in your 6th week and are Due Nov 28, based on the feb 22nd date you have posted. So I wouldnt worry yet, it is still early.
