Answer

That's just how they do it. So yeah, technically they are counting the two weeks before you actually conceived.

Answer

This same situation happened to me and my doctor went with the ultrasound because he said I didn't ovulate when I should have making me "less" pregnant.

Answer

You always go by LMP as at that stage your body is preparing for pregnancy and eggs to be released, there mightn't be a baby in there yet but that doesn't matter.

Answer

The first 2 weeks of your cycle are counted as being the first 2 weeks of your pregnancy even though you're not preg then.

Answer

My lmp was Jan 21 and I'll be 10weeks tmw. My baby is measuring bigger than I calculated. So when u get that ultrasound, you will have a better idea of how far along you are.
