Newly trying to conceive and reading everything online but im confused matlab from which day they actually count week 1? Does it start from period or after? Someone explain plz in simple way.
The funniest part of pregnancy is that in the first week, you aren't even pregnant yet! It is literally just your period week. Doctors calculate from your LMP, so technically you get a free two-week head start on your pregnancy countdown!
When I found out I was pregnant, I was so confused about this first week concept. My doctor explained that they count it from the first day of my last period. So basically, I was already considered "two weeks pregnant" by the time I actually conceived!
Actually, the first week is just the start of your last period, ho na! Many people get confused thinking they conceived that week. Gynac calculates it this way to keep a standard tracking system.
First week is counted as your last period's first day. This is a great time to visit your doctor and get basic blood tests like thyroid profile done, especially if you are planning. I had to monitor my thyroid from the very start to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
From my experience, the first week is all about preparing your body. It starts from your last period date, so your body is building up for the journey ahead. Make sure you start taking folic acid if you haven't already, as my doctor advised me back then.
