Some people use a calendar month as a measure: if your LMP (first day of your last menstrual period) was on the 5th of January, you're 1 month pregnant on Feb 5th, 2 months on March 5 and so on.
Still others use the 28 day "lunar calendar" - every 4 weeks, you're another month pregnant. In this case, a standard 280 day pregnancy (dating from LMP to estimated delivery date) is 10 months long! A true lunar month is 29.5306 days long.
A more accurate way of telling people how far along you are - and the way your healthcare provider will probably date your pregnancy - is to use the number of weeks and not months.
Based on the calculator I used:
Your LMP was 2/16/06
You conceived around 3/1/06 [assuming 28 days in the typical cycle]
Estimated due date is 11/22/06
If you base this on calendar months, then you are about four and a half months pregnant. If you base this on lunar months, then you are almost five months.
Regardless of weeks or months -- congratulations! [I'm 31 weeks myself]

because the calendar months are longer than your cycles! a common cycle is in straight forward words 28 days, a common month is 30 or 31 days. So getting your era on the eighth of each month would propose you've a 30 or 31 day cycle. Your cycle feels like this is 27 or 28 days ... completely standard!

Your pregnancy isn't measured in months, it's measured in weeks. Try picking up a copy of "What To Expect While You're Expecting" and some other good pregnancy books. They'll help you to understand the gestational months better.

I know everyone says that pregnancy lasts 9 months, but it is better to think about it as 40 weeks. You can use a site like http://www.babycenter.com to help you figure out what week you are one and everything that is going on
Good luck!

get educated quick. you sound like you need a lot of information before you bring your child into the world. speak to your doctoer, friends. parents or your local health clinic. you are not prepared.
good luck and best wiishes

Count your preganancy by weeks, not months. 40 weeks.
