I keep getting confused matlab do we count from last period or from conception? Everyone tells me different week. Can someone explain how to count properly?
Oh, I was so confused and panicked because my app date and conception date didn't match at all! But then I realized doctors always count from the first day of your last period. It’s totally normal to be confused initially, so don't worry.
It's simple, just count from the first day of your last period. Each week completed is one week of pregnancy, and the extra days are counted on top, like 6 weeks and 3 days. Use a free online pregnancy calculator, it works perfectly and keeps it simple.
Hey, don't stress too much about the exact days and weeks! Just remember your last period's start date, and your doctor will handle the rest during your first scan. Enjoy this time and let the medical folks do the math!
I am still trying to conceive, but I’ve been reading up on this to understand how it works. Apparently, they start counting from the first day of your last period, which feels a bit strange but is the standard way. Sending lots of good vibes to you.
You count it starting from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not the day you conceived. While apps are great for a rough estimate, a dating scan by your doctor is the most accurate way. It's always best to let your gynac confirm the official due date.
