My last period was on 10th and test came positive yesterday. Im so confused how they count the weeks from this. How do u figure out exactly how far along u are?
Pregnancy dating is usually calculated from the first day of your last period (LMP). Since tracking weeks is very important for scheduling your regular blood tests and thyroid checkups, make sure you visit your gynac soon to get a clear timeline.
Welcome to pregnancy math, where the count starts even before you actually conceived, haha! Yes, the doctors count from your last period's start date, so you are always a couple of weeks ahead of what you think!
Arey behen, don't worry about the hard calculations. Just tell your doctor the date when your last period started, they will tell you exactly how many weeks it has been.
My saas always says to count from the first day of your last period, that's how doctors also calculate. It can be confusing, but don't worry, your doctor will tell you the exact week during your first scan.
It's normal to find this confusing in the beginning. The conception date is usually around two weeks after your last period started, but doctors count your pregnancy weeks from that first day of your last period itself.
