after charting cycles i am on a 50 day cycle, now pregnant with number 3 & trying to establish when babies due date is...

Hi,
Just trying to work out how far along i am. I have had 2 wonderful boys one born 38 weeks 1 day in Jan 08 and second was 35 weeks 3 days in Nov 08. I was on the pill for about 9 months after number 2. I have been charting my cycles since going off the pill Nov 09, I have since found that i now have a 50 day cycle. I found out I was pregnant last week - great... but do i follow the 50 day cycle when calculating the due date? If i do this i would only be 3 weeks and i have been suffering quite bad "all day" sickness for a week and a bit now. Also would a pregnancy test show up as positive that early as technically i had not missed my period yet? The test showed a positive long before the indicator line that the test had worked. Is it at all possible that it could be a multiple pregnancy? My mum nor I are able to answer yes or no if twins or more run through our family. I have a ultrasound booked late this week but just trying to work it out for my own piece of mind... I hate not knowing...
Thank - you so much.

Answer: Hi,
If you were experiencing regular 50 day cycles then you due date will be extended by 22 days. It is best to have an early ultrasound to confirm your dates. Pregnancy tests can come up positive before you have missed a period.
Best wishes,
Alex.
