My last period was around mid April and i tested positive last week. Im so confused how to count the weeks, matlab how far along am i actually? How do u all calculate this?
I was also confused about this! My last period was June 1st, so my app says I'm like 12 weeks, but then my first scan said I was 11 weeks. So, which one is more accurate, the LMP or the ultrasound? My doctor said the scan is usually better if dates are off.
Ho na, pregnancy days kaise count karte hain, yeh toh thoda confusing lagta hai. Most of the time, doctors count from the first day of your last period. Par agar aapki periods irregular hain, toh fir gynac ultrasound se confirm karte hain. Wohi sabse reliable hota hai, haan na.
Generally, pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period, that's what we call LMP (Last Menstrual Period). But if you have irregular periods, the doctor will mostly rely on your early ultrasound scans to pinpoint the accurate gestational age and due date. So it depends on your cycle regularity, basically.
The fastest way to get a rough idea is to count from the first day of your last period, add 7 days, and subtract 3 months. That's your estimated due date. But for the precise 'how far along', your doctor's ultrasound dating is the most accurate, especially for medical records and planning. Always go by what your gynac says.
Usually, pregnancy is dated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). However, for a more accurate gestational age, especially if your cycles are irregular, an early ultrasound scan is most reliable. Your gynac will confirm the official due date based on these calculations, which is what truly matters.
