This Is So Confusing
Posted: 10-10-07 06:58am

i am 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant my last period was between june 11th and june 18th. my due date is march 17th. i've been told that my last period my not have been a period but just early signs of pregnancy. i just wanted to know if i could have conceived the last week of may or the first week of june. when i do the pregnancy calculator it tells me that i conceived between june 21st and june 25th. but that doesn't explain me being 17 weeks if i conceived the week of the 21st. but i know i had sex that week. i'm confused? Sad

Actually, the date of your last period coincides perfectly with how far along you are. Pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period. Therefore, the first two weeks you are really not pregnant. You become pregnant during week 3. Saying this, you have only been pregnant for 15 weeks but you are considered to be 17 weeks along. I know it sounds crazy but that's how they do it.

I got pregnant at the end of June for my son and he was born on March, 24th a few days over due. So I would say that your dates are right on.
