Thoda confused hu, do we count from the day we did it or from last period? My periods are bit irregular so im not sure how to calculate. Anyone who knows pls explain in simple way.
It is counted from your last period start date, which is standard. I kept up with my light walks daily once my doctor cleared me for light exercise in first trimester. Make sure to stay active but do check with your doc first!
In my experience, trying to track by intercourse date never matched the official medical dates. My doctor simply asked for my last period date and calculated from there. Best to just follow what your gynac's report says.
I totally understand how exciting and confusing these starting days can be. Every little calculation makes us feel closer to our little miracle. Your doctor will help u calculate based on your last period date during your first scan.
I am in my 5th month now and even I was so confused about this earlier! Actually, doctors count from the first day of your last period, not the day of intercourse. Did anyone else also find this tracking logic super confusing initially?
Since conceiving can be such an emotional journey, these details feel very important. Usually, doctors calculate pregnancy weeks from your last period date, or use transfer date if it was IVF. Sending u so much love and gentle hugs.
Ah, the days when I actually had brain cells to calculate weeks! Honestly, don't burn your brain over this because the doctor will just use your LMP or ultrasound size anyway. Just sleep while u still can, trust me on this!
Forget the math and go grab a samosa first, haha! But seriously, your gynac will calculate it from your LMP, which is last menstrual period date. So even if u conceived later, those initial weeks are counted from your period day.
The exact week is best confirmed by your gynac through an early dating scan. Calculating at home can sometimes give wrong dates. Pls schedule an appointment to get the correct medical estimation.
Trust me, trying to calculate by the exact night of fun is a headache u don't need! Just input your last period date into any online calculator and let it do the math. Baby decided to check in, that's what matters now!
