I think I understand now :) It does sound odd, but from what I've heard,
the most accurate measurements are a few weeks later on in the
pregnancy. If you read some of the stories on here, it seems that some
people have been 5 weeks along and the sac unable to be seen, some see
it clear as day. Some women see the heartbeat at 7-8 weeks, others wait
past 9 hoping and praying, and then see it.
>From what I've read, the most accurate measurements of the fetus age
aren't for a couple more weeks for you yet. I would NOT give up hope,
but I would DEFINITELY call your doctor ASAP and see if he can't give
you some kind of reassurance - possibly have him do the test himself.
Don't Don't Don't stress out about this, OPK's CAN be wrong and you
could very well have ovulated later than you thought, and conceived
later, but PLEASE get a second opinion from your doctor in person ASAP
before you start feeling that all is lost.
Best wishes,
Tarisa
