My doc counted my weeks from some date and i got confused na. So is day 1 from when i conceived or from my last period? Trying to understand how they calculate all this.
This confused me too. My gynac said they count from the first day of ur last period, not from conception. So technically u are already '2 weeks pregnant' before u even conceive, sounds weird na but that's how due date is calculated.
Doctors count from the first day of ur last menstrual period, LMP. That's why they always ask that date. Conception actually happens around 2 weeks after that, but the counting starts from LMP.
I got so confused by this in the start, anyone else? I thought it counts from when test was positive. But no, its from last period date. My doc cleared it in the first visit.
When I put my last period date in the tracker app it started counting from there. So day 1 is basically first day of ur last period, the apps and doctors both use that. Easy way to know how many weeks u are.
