I remember being so excited and counting every single day of my POG on the calendar! It's such a beautiful feeling to watch those weeks add up. Just start counting from the first day of your last period, and cherish this lovely phase, sweetie.
To save time, don't sit and do manual calendar math. Just use an online pregnancy calculator or a basic app, enter your Last Menstrual Period (LMP) date, and it will instantly give you your POG in weeks and days. It's highly accurate and practical.
I was actually researching about this because we are planning soon! So basically, even the weeks before you conceive are counted in your POG, starting from your last period's first day. It's so interesting how the medical calculation works!
Calculations can be so confusing when you are already dealing with bad nausea! POG simply means how many weeks pregnant you are, calculated from the first day of your last period. Just count the weeks from that date, it's very simple.
POG is actually just the period of gestation, yaar. You basically count the weeks starting from your LMP—your last period's first day. Don't stress too much about the exact days, the ultrasound scan will eventually give the most accurate calculation anyway.
Don't get confused by the medical terms, beta. POG is just 'Period of Gestation'. You just need to count from the first day of your last period, and that's your current week of pregnancy. If you are still unsure, your doctor will write it clearly in your scan reports.
