HI Nikki, I wanted to let you know that i am sorry about your current situation and I hope you make the best possible decision that you can for you and your heart. There is a blood test that you can have done to get an estimate on how far along you are. It is just a ball park but concedering you know approximatly the last day of your period it will be a closer estimate. It is called and HCG QUANITIVE test. It is one sinlge vile of blood and the results usually come in 2-3 days....I hope this helps....please let me know. Amber
