Had Bleeding Post Sex. Pregnant. How Can I Confirm If It Was Implantation Bleeding?
I am wanting to get a different opinion about ultra sounds and dating.
I am currently 27 weeks. I am just annoyed at how my OBGYN always pulls out her "wheel" to calculate dates. As we know not everyone is on the same cycle.
History
Sept 09 2012 period
Oct 12 2012 period ( 4 days late )
I was thinking my period was to come on Oct 09, or 10. Took pregnancy test both days. Both came up negative. Than "period" came on the 12th
My issue is... I have been hearing about implantation bleeding. So now I have it in my head that Oct 12 was not a period because it was late. It was implantation bleeding.
Found out I was pregnant on Dec 14, 2012
I thought I was 9 weeks
They said 8 weeks 4 days which means in my head I ovulated a little late.
January 07, 2013 ultra sound
They said I was 12 weeks 3 days
So with my calculations I conceived somewhere near thei end if October.
What are the chances that Oct 12 was implantation bleeding? Would I have measured differently at my ultrasound? And if we go by LMP would this mean we would be going on Sept 09 period?

Hi there ~
October 12 was your last menstrual period (LMP), i.e. you have not had menstrual bleeding since that time. You were diagnosed with being pregnant thereafter and therefore the gestational age is calculated from your LMP which is October 12. I hope this helps clarify your doubt.
Take care and have a lovely day!
