Hello. My heart goes out to you. I had an unplanned pregnancy when I was younger. I pray peace and comfort for you during this time.
Go to the following website and click on Find a Center. They are part of the CareNet organization, a non-profit that will offer you free pregnancy tests and a free ultrasound if you want one. You can get your answers and not have to wait for medicaid. They are very caring, helpful people and have helped friends of mine.
Their phone number is 1-800-395-HELP

If you are irregular (LIKE ME!) it's going to be impossible to tell without a blood test or ultrasound. I went in and they said 8 weeks based on my last period.....then I went in for an ultrasound and the tech said less than 5 weeks...or something could be wrong. So then a bunch of drama and tests....and I was only 4 weeks and 4 days along! So the LMP thing is not always right! I am nearly 14 weeks along now. Sorry I couldn't help ya much as to how far though! Good Luck

Well if your periods are not regular than there is no real way of telling exactly how far along you are you could try and guess when your last period was and then you add seven days to the start of your last period and then count nine months and that will give you a rough due date. but I would just wait till you go to the doctor.

Typically a doctor will count your first day of pregnancy from the first day of your last period. Just count how many weeks it has been from the first day of your last period and that's how far along they'll say you are. Towards the end of your pregnancy, they may change your due date based on the fundal height (measure of your uterus). If Oct. 20th was the first day of your last period, tomorrow you'll be 4 weeks pregnant. Congratulations!

well when was your last period and count from there, an irregular period can make it difficult but if you want to know for sure wait to see your doctor. but usually you wont get a positive test until about week 4 so your probably between 4 and 5

you count weeks from the first day of your last period. Find the date of your last period (the first day of the period, not the last) and count weeks from there.
