Honestly, calculating all this math makes me hungry, I just focus on my golgappa cravings instead! But yes, ovulation date is roughly week 2 of pregnancy, so add two weeks to find your current week.

Hum toh hamesha aakhri mahine ke pehle din se hi ginte hain beta. Tum doctor ke paas jaogi toh woh sahi se hisab bata dengi, chinta mat karo.

Forget ovulation date, no gynac uses that because it's hard to be 100% sure. Just count from the first day of your last period, that's the standard medical way.

I totally understand how exciting it is to count every single day of this beautiful journey! Usually, ovulation date plus two weeks is your gestational age, enjoy this lovely phase.

Practically, doctors count from your Last Menstrual Period (LMP) rather than ovulation. But if you are sure of the ovulation date, just add 14 days to it to find your LMP equivalent, and calculate weeks from there.
