Q: Confused -tickers Are Wrong!

I was told to tell how far along you are you count the day of your last period 'til today, but then when I went to put up a tickerfactory it said i'm only 9w2d which is wrong because april 25th-now =68 days....68 /7 = 9w7d which would mean that those things from :tickerfactory.Com are off.

The tickers from tickerfactory.Com only count by what your due date is. They do not add in and figure out when your due date is. So, if it is showing the wrong date for you then you didn't put your due date in correctly. The tickers cannot tell you how far along you are, you tell them. I have been using these and all of the people on fertilityfriend.Com use them too and we've never had problems with them.

Um no actually I did put my due date in correctly but the ticker is off a little bit. I put my due date in which is february 1st, 2006....So don't tell me I did it wrong.

I put my due date in the ticker and it calculated how far I was perfectly. Maybe you should double check your due date just to make sure.
