My periods are always irregular so im so confused about my actual weeks. Test is positive but I cant figure out the dates at all. How did u all calculate before the first scan?
My mother helped me calculate my weeks using the traditional lunar calendar, but doctors always go by the last period date. Just keep your period dates ready for your first doctor visit, they will guide you beautifully.
Behn, aap apne aakhri period ki shuruat ki tareekh se hafte gino. Wahi se pata chalta hai ki kaunsa mahina chal raha hai. Baki doctor se poochoge toh woh sahi se bata denge.
I was so confused about this initially because my apps showed one date and my doctor said another! Usually they count from your last period start date. Did anyone else find the LMP calculation a bit confusing at first?
Haha, the math in pregnancy is wild! You are technically considered 'pregnant' even before the baby is actually conceived, thanks to the LMP rule. Just use an online pregnancy calculator to get a rough idea and leave the rest to your gynac.
Your doctor will calculate your weeks starting from the first day of your last period, not the date you conceived. That's the standard medical way to find out. A dating scan around 8-12 weeks will give you the most accurate due date.
I totally understand that excitement of wanting to know exactly how tiny your little baby is right now! Just count the weeks from the first day of your last period. It’s the start of such a beautiful journey, enjoy every day of it!
