Can someone help figure out how far along I am??

Question

Okay, my last period started Jan 6 2007, my cycles vary between 34-36 days apart. I took a pregnancy test on Feb 9th 2007, and it came out positive. Can someone tell me how far along I am, and when conception happened? This whole thing is soo confusing to me. Today is Mar 5. And when can I start to get excited? The last baby I miscarried, so I'm scared. I don't have any children yet, 25 years old. Thanks for all your help :)

Answer 1

Based on pregnancy.org your due date is October 21,2007 (that's my brother's bday) and you conceived on (or around) January 27th. You are 7wks 2 days pregnant. Your weeks start on Saturdays.
Now based on BabyMed.com your baby will be due on October 19, 2007. And you conceived on or around the 27th as well. But is says you are 7wks 3 days pregnant and your weeks start on Fridays. I used the calculator and put in your LMP and used 35 days as you cycle time for both sites. The doctor can do a blood quantitative test and tell you exactly how far you are. Or do an ultrasound and judge it based on the measurements of your baby. JUST BE SURE TO NOT USE THE TEXTBOOK DOCTOR'S WHEEL OR WEBSITES THAT DON'T LET YOU INPUT YOUR CYCLE LENGTH...THEY ARE BASED UPON A 28 DAY CYCLE.
Don't let the last miscarry scare you too much (I know, that's hard to try and do) but I miscarried last May , very early in the pregnancy and here I am now 18 wks pregnant again (conceived again in November) with a healthy baby.

Congratulations and I wish you all the best with this pregnancy.

Here is a great website for calculating due dates.
http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/923526833.html

According to this site your due date would be October 13th. Conception would have happened on January 20th and your first trimester would be over on March 31. The risk of miscarriage declines sharply after the first trimester. You are currently about eight weeks along.

However. If you haven't been to a doctor yet, you need to step up an appointment. Around 20 weeks they usually preform an ultrasound. During this time they can more accurately determine the fetal age and may adjust your due date.

I hope that helps and that this pregnancy goes well for you. Best wishes and take care.

Ok, I have one of those pregnacy wheels like a doctors office has. If your period started 1/06 than probable date of conception is 1/21 with a due date of 10/14. It says you are 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant! Congrats! According to the wheel, your baby weighs 1 gm and is 4 cm long.
I think you can get excited now, but I would hold off telling anyone until you reach the 12 week mark (that is when your chance of miscarriage goes down). Good luck!!

Answer 4

Start counting from Jan.6 - therefore you are 8 weeks along. You can't pinpoint exactly what day conception happened - this is why your gestational week starts from the first day of your last period.
Just relax and try to get through the next month without worrying too much - after week 13, your chances of miscarrying decrease substantially provided there aren't any issues that'll already be discussed with you by doc.

Answer 5

If you had a normal cycle I'd say around 2 months. But since your cycle is a little longer it could be a little less. When you have your first appt with the dr, explain the whole cycle thing and they'll probably do an ultrasound to determine the gestation. That was standard practice with my OB. Good luck!

Hi there Pink J,

Try this website out, you can even change the length of what your cycle is.

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/articles/pregnancy/due-date-calculator

I put in that your last period started on the 6th of Jan, and that on average your cycle lasts about 35 days.

I left the lateal cycle in default of 14days.... and it came back with:

Conceived on: 27th Jan 2007 (Roughly)
Due date: 20th October 2007, but if you go full term, you could sstill be waiting till the 3rd of November.

The estimated fetal age is 7 weeks and 3 days.

If it were me, i'd be excited already.
If you chose to hold off till your past the 3 month mark before you tell anyone that is really up to you.
But if you need to shareyour awesome exciting news withsome one, hey tell them!!

Wishing you all the best, and sending heaps of sticky pregnancy vibes your way!!

Answer 7

Yeah, you're about 2 months. Pregnancy is always calculated beginning on the first day of your last menstrual period. Since it's March 6th, tomorrow... I'd say about 2 months. You really need to get into a doctor if you've had a miscarriage before. Someone with a risk needs to get medical help/advice as soon as they suspect they are pregnant.

Answer 8

The best thing that you can do for now to answer your questions is to do a web search for due date calculators, you just put in the date of your last menstrual period and it will calculate your due date and conception date for you, however, you need to set up an appointment with your doctor and they will determine your actual due date etc, from ultrasound compared to your last menstrual period. Hope this helps, best of luck.

Answer 9

count the weeks from the first day of your last period. start on Jan. 6 until now.
