Im so bad with these dates honestly. I know my last period date but cant figure out how many weeks that makes me. How do u all calculate it, is it from the period day or conception? Help a confused first timer pls.
Oh, that's a question everyone asks in the beginning! I remember constantly trying to calculate. Best way is your last period date, or your first ultrasound will give you the most accurate due date and gestational age. Don't worry, the doctors will tell you exactly how many weeks and days you are, it becomes clear very soon!
I was also so confused about this! My doctor initially used my LMP, but then after the first scan, they adjusted my due date by a few days. So, definitely rely on your ultrasound report. Are you waiting for your first scan too?
That's a very common question, especially when you're just starting out! The doctor calculates it based on your last period and then confirms it with an ultrasound. That first scan will tell you everything you need to know, and then you'll have a clear idea. Don't stress, it'll be known soon enough.
The most common way to calculate how far along you are is from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Your doctor will also confirm it with an early ultrasound, which is usually the most accurate method. So, check your LMP, and then your first scan will give you a definite answer.
The most precise way to know how far along you are is through a consultation with your gynac. They will perform an ultrasound which gives the exact gestational age. Relying on apps alone might not be accurate enough, so please check with your doctor for confirmation.
