so how many weeks am I really ?

Question

Okay ladies, so I'm pregnant, and my last period was jan. 8th but my doctor gave me a pap and said I was 7 weeks ? But I reality I'm 5 weeks and 4 days. So am I 6 weeks ? Or 7? I have an ultrasound on the 23rd.

Answer

Doctors calculate including the two weeks from your period to ovulation, because most women don't know exactly when you ovulate.  So even though you may only have been physically pregnant for 5 weeks (from O to now),  it's counted as 7 (AF/CD 1 to now).

Answer

You're doctor adds 2 weeks to your weeks. Technically ovulation is when you conceived, not your missed period. I'm assuming that's the confusion.
