You calculate from the first day of your last period sweety.

What was the date of your las period

If your last af was on the 29th april it would make you about 5wks+1

well my last "period" was a mc you see so i dont know if it would count... but it was the 29th of april so that would make me 5 1/2 weeks, but i thought u wudve counted it from the time u ov? cos u wudnt actually b pregnant from the date AF wud u? im confused

They always calculate it from the day of your last period. I think it's because it's only recently that we've been able to pin point the day of ovulation as such and also, since pregnancy technically starts from implantation and the amount of time a fertilised egg takes to implant varies from woman to woman, it's much easier just to go by the LMP.

After your MC what was the first day of your bleed? Was it the 29th april if so you would go by then.

rite ok, maybe i should change my ticker then! lol well id much rather be 5 weeks than3/4

 

[youngmumtobe20]

ok so how wud i calculate my due date then? how many weeks full term?

The easiest thing to do would be to use a due date calculator from the web. But if you wanted to work it out yourself, it's 40 weeks from your LMP.
