Just got my positive test, so happy! But my periods were always irregular so im confused about exactly kab conceive hua. Will the doctor tell from scan? wanted to figure out the dates. anyone with irregular cycles, how did u know?
It is calculated from the first day of your last period, not the day you actually had sex. Doctors use your LMP to estimate the conception and due date.
Doctors always use the first day of your last period (LMP) to figure out the week of conception. Also, keeping your diet healthy from day one is so important to avoid issues like gestational diabetes later.
Your doctor will calculate the conception week based on your LMP. Once they confirm the date and give you the go-ahead, you can start safe light prenatal yoga or walks.
Medically, we count from the LMP (Last Menstrual Period). However, an early ultrasound scan is the gold standard to pinpoint the gestational age of the baby.
I think doctors usually count it from your last period date because it's hard to know the exact conception day. It's a bit confusing but very interesting.
From my experience, the dating scan (ultrasound) around the 8th to 12th week gives the most accurate conception and due date. Don't stress too much about the exact day.
