Pregnancy weeks etc..

[charlotteheys85]

Ok.. so i'm 5weeks pregnant according to the first day of my last AF..

So i ovualted about 12th...
so really i'm only 3weeks...

so does that mean when i go for my 12week scan, i'll really only be 10weeks??

excuse me for being so dippy hehe xxx

You work out the number of weeks you are from your LMP not from when you ovulated.

You should only expect to be a few weeks out if you had a long cycle, like my goodself

I had a 6 week cycle and know that I ovulated on CD28, 4 weeks into my cycle. So I knocked 2 weeks off the number of weeks I was, going by my LMP and it was spot on after having 2 early scans.

Hope that makes sense

you will always work out the weeks from your LMP

it usually means that your actual gestational weeks are two weeks less.

e.g. I'm nearly 7 weeks pg but nearly 5 weeks gestation

hope that makes sense

My cycles are 28days..

so first day of my LMP was 29th Jan.. so Ovualted about 12th feb..

so it says i'm 5weeks preg..

it just seems silly they count tou 2weeks pregnant when you'd not even concieved, its just my friend said they've changed it now..

Would you say i'm 5weeks preg then?

i Dont want to go bkwards lol xxx

yeah you're 5 weeks pg.

I've not heard that it's changed and I've seen my docs twice since being pg and both times they've worked it out from the date of my LMP.

There are some websites where you can find a due date calculator that works out a due date from the day you OV'd if you know it. I knew my OV date because I was temping and it still give me the same date as when I put in my lmp

Well...i know the exact date i concieved cos we only baby danced once in the whole month and i told the MW i was 6 weeks, she argued and said no i was 8 weeks on friday cos of the date of my LMP. BUT... my AF lasted 16 days so i knew i was way behind.
Scan today confirmed i was 6 weeks and not nearly 8 like she argued. So i am even more confused lol

quote me if wrong.. but because you af lasted 16days...

(you were on for 16days??)

Maybe because its normally around 3-7days, you were around 2weeks behind like you said.. xx
