Hi, i have not had my dating scan yet but according to the doctor and everything that iv read i am 9 weeks today. My last period was the 17th of March, yesterday was the 17th of May so my last period was exactly 2 months ago. surely even if i had concieved on the first day of my period i would only be 8 weeks and how could that even be possible?
so im struggling to believe that im 9 weeks..?
what do you think?

thanks for your help - again
dont know what id do without you guys

Hi Luv,
By my reckoning, you'll be nine weeks tomorrow.

As that will be 9 weeks from the first day of your last period.

Hi!
When I entered 17th March into the due date calculator Im getting 8 weeks!?
When I look at my calender Im getting 8 weeks 6 days?
On another site it said 9 weeks?
ooohh very odd!?

Oh I meant to add just go with your docs until your dating scan!
Thats your best bet!

And its confusing because the moment you conceive (usually 10-14 days after the start of your last period) you are immediately 14 days pregnant. Does that make sense? So effectively your dating is worked out from your period dates not the conception dates

Yeah I understand, though why they do that I don't know? Hmmm weirdness.

My LMP was 18th March so whatever I am, you are one day in front!
