Q: I Dont Really Know How Far Along I Am!

Well I know it sounds kinda weird but I dont really know how far along I am. Im sure I got pregnant the first time I had sex. But the month before that my period was messed up, but its not cause I was pregnant cause I hadnt had sex yet. I only know the approximate week it happened. My first doctors appointment is today will they be able to tell how far along I am, and will it be very accurate?

They normally dont try to pinpoint the exact day. But if u know the week, either way its going to be accurate. But by ultrasound it is most accurate, and the earlier they give it, the more accurate it is*

Just tell them the first day of your last period and they can kinda round it off, then with the ultrasound they will let you know how far you are. I thought I was like 12 weeks and when I went in, I was only 10! So they will let you know!
