How did you figure out how far along you are?

According to BabyCenter, it is calculated from the day of your last pd. Is that how you all figure it out or do you calculate from the day you ovulate?

Since I knew exactly when I ovulated, I count from there and add two weeks.
MOST doctors use the pregnancy wheel and the wheel makes an assumption that you ovulate on CD14.

Thank you for the quick reply! Is that the same thing as saying the first day of your last pd?

Yes.

I used the calendars at babyzone and webmd. They both said the same thing. When I went for my sonogram, I was measuring 8 wks 3 days, where the calendars said I was 9 wks.

I use babycenter.com, so far they are the most accurate to what my dr tells me. I plugged in my due date from the dr since I never had an AF in between the m/c and this pg.

ETS: the other websites, babyzone.com, pregnancyweekly.com, even though I plugged in the same due date have me a week ahead of my dr.

To figure out how far along you are, you count from the first day of your last period. To figure out your due date, add one week to the first day of your last period then subtract three months.

See, my doctor must have made a mistake. I calculated June 27th and my doc said June 25th. This was before any kind of exam to look at size etc. Oh well, whats 2 days when unfortunatly its not written in stone anyway.

My midwife calculates if from the day of my LMP so do all the charts online. Good thing I am like clockwork and knew the exact day

Cool! Thanks everyone

Re: How did you figure out how far along you are?

Mine is calculated from the readings I've had from the sonos. I did not have a 28-day cycle when I got pregnant, so it wasn't very accurate to go by.

According to my LMP, I am due April 30th. But according to the measurements on the 3 sonos I have had done so far, I am due May 16th. That's the date we're going by.
