Im newly pregnant and totally lost about how the weeks are counted. Is it from the day of conception or from last period? Gynac said one number and i couldnt match it with my own counting lol.
Oh my god, counting weeks! It feels like forever, haha. But seriously, they start counting from the first day of your last period. So even if you just conceived, you're already like 2-3 weeks pregnant technically. Then they adjust after the first scan, which feels like the most accurate way. I'm just counting down now!
They usually count from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). So even if you conceive later, that's what they use as Week 1. It helps doctors standardize dating for scans and due dates. Knowing your weeks helps plan for upcoming tests and appointments, which can add up, so be prepared.
Generally, doc counts pregnancy weeks from the first day of your last period, not from when you think you conceived. It's a medical standard. So if your period was June 1st, then even on June 15th you'd be in week 2. Your first scan will give a more accurate date, but that's how they start.
Most doctors count your pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period. So that's how you know which week you are in. It's a common way to calculate it.
Pregnancy weeks are typically counted from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). So even if you ovulated later, the calculation starts from LMP. Your initial ultrasound will then confirm or adjust the due date based on baby's measurements, which is usually more accurate.
