Just a Quick Question..so Confused
Posted: 03-26-07 01:27am

How come when I went to the doctors and got an ultrasound they told me i was 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant...I counted back on my calendar and it landed on November 5th 2006..Well if thats the case why are they saying I didnt even conceive til around the 18th? I don't understand..I just know that my last period ended right around halloween.

The doctors are going by the 40 week method, which takes your last period into account. That means that when you actually conceived, you were already 2 weeks pregnant.

Your baby is probably 15 weeks old, but your pregnancy is considered to be 17 weeks along by medical standards.

Does that help?
