My cycles have always been irregular, sometimes 35 days sometimes 45. Just found out im pregnant and i have no idea how to count my weeks. How does the doc even calculate due date in this case?
My brain is totally fried right now, but I remember trying to calculate my irregular period math. It was a disaster, eventually my gynac's 7-week scan saved me.
With irregular periods, dating can be tricky. My mother suggested tracking symptoms but my gynac said only an early scan can tell the correct due date, so please consult your doctor.
Honestly, I can't even remember what I ate yesterday, let alone calculating irregular periods! Just go to the gynac, they will do an ultrasound and tell you the exact week.
Instead of trying complex math, book a basic dating scan at a good local lab. It doesn't cost much and gives the exact week so you can plan your doctor visits and expenses.
Please don't try to calculate this yourself as wrong dates can affect test schedules. Go to your gynac, they will advise an ultrasound to find the correct gestational age.
Don't waste time on manual tracking if your cycles are irregular. Schedule a quick gynac appointment for an early dating scan, it's efficient and accurate.
I had very irregular cycles before my pregnancy, and after my C-section, I realized how important that first dating scan was. It was the only way they calculated my due date correctly.
