How do you figure how many weeks/ days?

If the first day of my last period was August 12th- am I 5wks6days??? Probably a stupid question but I don't get it LOL. And when you go for a sono at 6wks is that right at 6 or 6wks6days or something like that? Thanks!!!

I'm so bad...I just go to the online sites where you make the tickers and go based on the LMP.

When I went to my doctor she told me exactly how far I was along but I used a site where you put in the first day of your last period and thats how they calculate it

Re: How do you figure how many weeks/ days?

it also depends on your period cycle length, not just when your last period was. So doctor will probably check sono and hormones to tell you more accurately where you are.

Re: How do you figure how many weeks/ days?

you can count from your last period, just count the weeks and days since then but you could be less far along if you ovulated late. I went to my first appt yesterday and she determined due date by the size of the baby in the sonogram.

Once you have a sono they will be able to measure exactly how far along you are..I though i was 7 weeks when i went to the dr and found out i was 5w6d...i was off i must have O'ed late!

Re: How do you figure how many weeks/ days?

I got all sorta of confused with this and according to my last period I was 12 weeks but when they did the sono I was only 6... Soo my advise... just wait to see what the doc says. lol
