Blood work cannot tell you how far along you are as the levels vary so much from pregnancy to pregnancy, go with the ultrasound.
They count the weeks of pregnancy back to the last date of the first day of your menstrual period, not to date of conception. For example, I am considered to be at 15 weeks. The first day of my last period was 11/25/08 and the date of conception was anywhere between 12/9 and 12/16
Is it normal to pass gas a lot when you are only a week and a half pregnant?
yes it is!You will be very gassy for the whole time you are pregnant!!!I was with both my kids so you will have to get used to it!LOL ==How do you know? == How do you know you are pregnant 3 days before ovulating? Because that is when 1 and half weeks pregnant is. Even one and a half weeks after ovulating you would be unlikely to have a positive test. Having said that many pregnant women have gas/constipation/diarrhoea, but not all.

When can you tell that you're pregnant?
Only thing that can tell you that is a pregnancy test! GOOD LUCK
Home pregnancy tests can detect the HCG pregnancy hormone as soon as your first missed period. Doctors can detect the HCG hormone as early as 9 days past ovulation with blood work. It is usually safe for couples to share the news of their pregnancy with family and friends after the end of the first trimester, or 12 weeks gestation.
When given a dating ultrasound do you need to subtract two weeks for an actual date?
When you have a dating ultrasound you are given an EDD (estimated date of delivery) If you count back 40 weeks from this date it should be about when your last period was. If you do not have a regular cycle they may not correlate exactly. 38weeks back from your EDD is approximately when you conceived.

It depends how overweight she is. If only a little overwieght it shouldn't make much different, but if extremely obese it will be impossible to tell by abdominal exam. Over 30 years ago I was a student nurse training in a pre-natal clinic and an extremely obese woman came in thinking she was about 28 weeks pregnant. I couldn't feel anything and nor could the trained midwife or the ob/gyn and an ultrsound scan confirmed that she was not pregnant. Women at both ends of the weight scale can have their periods stop.
What is the general price to have a abdomen ultrasound?
It is often a free service at most Pregnancy Resource Centers. Just Google "pregnancy, and your city" and you will most likely find a center that administers free ultrasound services under the direction of a licensed medical professional.

What is the consequence with liquid surrounding the fetus?
Amniotic fluid grows and begins to fill, mainly with water, around two weeks after fertilization, is a plentiful source of non-embryonic stem cells.These cells have demonstrated the ability to differentiate into a number of different cell-types, including brain, liver and bone. Amniotic fluid also protects the developing baby by cushioning against blows to the mother's abdomen, allows for easier fetal movement, promotes muscular/skeletal development, and helps protect the fetus from heat loss.
If you have some sort of proof, possibly. This is a question for a medical malpractice lawyer.
No. Your due date is calculated from two weeks before actual conception. You are actually pregnant for 38 weeks. You conceived 18 weeks ago.
What are the complications of pelvic radiotherapy?
Typical short term effects of pelvic radiotherapy:
Bladder - can cause increased frequency of urination, stinging when urinating, nocturia (needing to get up frequently during the night to urinate)
Bowels - can cause either diarrhoea or constipation, pruritis (anal irritation leading to itchiness)
Skin - possibly some reddening of the skin in treatment area (usually noticed in the natal cleft, where there is more friction between skin folds)
Nausea - infrequent for pelvic irradiation but is possible
Fatigue - levels of fatigue differ for each patient, some don't notice it whilst others can get very tired
These effects don't typically appear until about 10 days into treatment, and can usually be managed effectively. They are not permanent, and begin to subside about 10 days after the end of treatment.
Possible long term effects:
Erectile dysfunction can occur in some (not all) cases (specifically after prostate treatment)
Bladder constriction can occur, meaning the bladder can hold a lesser volume than it did prior to treatment - however this certainly does not occur in all cases. Steps are taken to minimise the chance of this occurring - it is one of the reasons patients are asked to keep their bladder fullness consistent for each daily treatment (this can be empty, moderate, or full, depending on the specific treatment).

What does it mean when an echo cardiogram shows the valve fluttering at the open stage?
The valve to the heart controls the amount of blood that goes into the heart. Some people don't get enough blood while in your situation it gets a little too much. It usually can be corrected. Many women suffer from "Prolapse Valve" problems with their heart and in most cases it can be corrected.
Should you shave before a scrotal ultrasound?
It is not necessary. I recently had one done and it was very professional. I had a female assist me to my room and a male do the actual ultrasound. When I entered the room, he said that he was going to perform a scrotal ultrasound and asked id I was having any pain. Then he said he was going to step out of the room and I was supposed to take off my pants and underwear and lay on the bed with a sheet over my genitals. When he came back in he sat down by the ultrasounds machine. He started gathering the sheet at my ankles and brought it upside that by the time he tracked my penis, the bunched up sheet would ouch it so that it lay on my stomach. At this point my scrotum was completely visible. Then Hare placed a towel over my legs so I was comfortable. The ultrasound took about a hold hour. After he gave me a towel and told me to clean off the gel and put my clothes back on, while he stepped out to have the ultrasound read. I had ample time. Throught the whole procedure I didn't get hard and he couldn't even see my pubic hair, although I do shave regularly.
