My last period was around 7 weeks back but my cycle is irregular so im not sure of exact dates. Havent done a scan yet. How do they actually figure out how far along u are?
Just use an online pregnancy calculator and enter your last period date, it’s the easiest way. But get it confirmed by your doctor during your first checkup.
You can estimate it from the first day of your last period, but because I had early complications, my doctor did a dating scan to get the exact week. Please consult your gynac to confirm the exact date.
I felt so confused trying to calculate my weeks at first! You just count from the start of your last period, but seeing the dating scan report made it all real for me.
My MIL told me to count from my last period date to know the months, which is how they did it. But our doctor did a scan and gave us the exact due date.
Early dating is so important to monitor progress, especially after my past loss. Please get an early dating ultrasound done by your doctor to know the exact week and ensure everything is safe.
