Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie Sorry to bother you again but I don't know the ans. to all the Q's popping in my mind.Yesterday i had my 3rd round of blood work done (after 96hrs.)and my HCG was 4451/Pro was 40.Yes, you were right!According to my last blood test it was less than 48hrs.So that's why it didn't double.Now next step is the 1st U/S on 15th.My Question is since this was my IUI cycle,How will i know when is my due date?My LMP was 4thMay'06 and IUI was done on 14th may.My usual cycle is 28-30days but in this case everything is done artificial so how would we derive to the due date which I would like to know.Thank you for answering my queries so patiently.Thanks much. archie replied. LK,
You should have provided your last two hCG as well to avoid retrospective analysis for me.
Looks like all is well and that hCG is increasing as it should be.

I think your gestation concern is not a huge or rather not a concern at all. your edd can be same for both based on LMP or by ultraound. I suspect it will be about 2-4 days earlier than estimated from LMP. It does not matter whether it was natural, iui or ivf always gestation is calculated two weeks earlier than ovulation date for LMP and ultraound for the first time. However ultraound throughout the pregnancy can show difference of as much as 14 days and considered to be normal.
