I get a little confused honestly. My gynac told me one number but online apps show something else, matlab do they count from last period or from conception? Just want to understand how it actually works.
This is something my MIL always asked about! She would say count from your last period. But honestly, the doctor does the proper calculation with the scan. They are the best for this, don't stress over it.
It's best to let your gynac confirm this for you. They usually calculate based on your LMP and then fine-tune it with the dating scan. Always cross-check with your doctor for accuracy and safety.
Oh, I totally understand wanting to know exactly how many weeks along you are! It's such an exciting journey, and keeping track helps us feel connected to our little one's growth. The easiest way is usually from your last menstrual period (LMP) date. Your doc will confirm everything with a scan, which is so heartwarming to see.
Normally, you count from your last period, that's what everyone says. But the actual calculation is best done by your doctor through an ultrasound. It gives the most accurate date and helps track baby's growth correctly.
The most accurate way is through your doctor's ultrasound scan, especially the first one. It's so important to have regular check-ups, especially if there are any underlying conditions like thyroid issues, to ensure everything is on track and your dates are correct.
Okay, so generally, it's from your last period date. But don't rely completely on that. Your doctor will do an ultrasound, usually in the first trimester, which is the most accurate for dating. Just let the doc tell you the exact weeks, no need to stress.
