Q: Date I Conceived ... ?
asked by: d0ntthink2hard on May 31st, 2007

I was told on January 1, 2007 that I was 1-2 weeks pregnant. So I've been following that until today. I was 23 weeks pregnant or so I thought, but according to the ultrasound I'm 25 weeks.
I'm trying to figure out the a close date to that which I conceived, and I can't do it based on my menstrual cycle because I miscarried the day after Thanksgiving of 2006. So I never had a period between pregnancies. Can anyone help? Confused

there's no such thing as 1-2 weeks pregnant. if that's what you were told they must have meant that was the baby's gestational age, which would've meant you were 3-4 weeks pregnant. it's very confusing but the first 2 weeks of your pregnancy, you're not actually pregnant yet.

so according to your u/s you're 25 weeks, which means you would've conceived approx 23 weeks ago.

does this make sense? i'm sorry, i'm not good at explaining things.

(i'm hoping someone else will reply to this and explain it better.)

Bridget explained it fine.

25 weeks pregnancy is the same as 23 weeks of gestation.

pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (based on a 28 day cycle).
so you actually ovulate at the end of week 2 of the pregnancy, and implantation of the embryo takes place around the middle/end of end of week 3.

This is why for an accurate pregnancy test it is best to wait until your period is missed.
When you miss your period you are said to be 4 weeks (approx) pregnant.
At this point the embryo is of 2 weeks gestation and may have been implanted for as little as 4 days.

Go see your doctor. They will calculate it by the size of your uterus or ultrasound.
