Beta, if you are trying to calculate your pregnancy due date or ovulation days, the best way is to count from the first day of your last period. In our times we used to mark the calendar and ask the family elders to guide us, but now you kids have easy tools on phones. Keep your body cool with coconut water and don't take any stress during this calculation time.
My baby is a toddler now but I still remember how confused I used to get trying to calculate my pregnancy weeks and due date! Honestly, don't worry about complex formulas, just remember your last period's first day and put it in any online calculator. Your gynac will give you the most accurate date in your first scan anyway.
I totally understand how exciting and overwhelming it is to calculate all these details when you are starting this beautiful journey. Whether you are tracking your cycle or calculating your baby's due date, just breathe and enjoy every moment. Sending you so much warmth and happy prayers for this phase.

Are you asking about calculating your expected delivery date? Actually, my saas calculated my delivery month using the traditional calendar system by adding 9 months and 7 days to my last period date, and she was almost perfectly right! It's so much simpler than those online calculators, honestly.
