It really depends when did you expect your period? What were the last few times you had sex?

hun there are a *lot* of things we need to know before we can answer that.

1. When was your last period?
2. When was the last time you had sex?
3. How many days are in your cycle?
4. Have you spotted recently in the past?

with a 30 day cycle you most liekly ovulate 16th or 17th and you are 1 month along. pregnancy is calculaed 2 weeks prior to you even ever being pregnant.

because you have a 30 day cycle I would put your expected conception around the 19th feb - but then there is nothing to say that you don't have a longer luteal phase than average so 16th is very possible.

if you conceived on the 19th by my reckoning you are 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant (4w5d if you coveived on 16th). - that is to say 2 weeks and 3 days gestation(2w5d if you coveived on 16th).

3 feb - period
19 feb - conception
1 mar - implantation (somewhere between 25 feb and 3 mar)

because it's easier to know when your last period was than it is to know exactly when you ovulated.

most women don't know when they ovulate, but do know when their period was.

as ovulation "typically" (but not always) occurs about 14 days before your period is due they just add 2 weeks to your pregnancy and count from your period.

the day of a missed period you are considered one month pregnant. they calculate gestational age not fetal..yes, the fetus is only 2 weeks old but your 1 month pregnant. my dr. too said it was ridiculous but tats just the way they calculate it. so your actually pregnant for 38 weeks not 40..oh and whatever kia said too.
