Q. I know typically you start counting the pregnancy weeks on the first day of your LMP, but I ovulate on day 19, not 14, so my cycle is 5 days longer. I would think it was more important to go by your ovulation/conception date since that is when the embryo actually �begins�, which would put me almost a week earlier than if I went by my LMP date. My doctor doesn�t want to see me yet but I am anxious to know how far along I really am.
A. You can go online and find a gestation calculator and it will figure it up for you.
Do period-like cramps in the week after you have unprotected sex mean anything?
Q. My husband and I had unprotected sex last week, and I did an online fertility calculator to pinpoint where I had been in the 28-day cycle, and found that it was at the beginning of my "fertile" phase. Now I am having period-like cramps, and my period was only two weeks ago, so I couldn't be having it again so soon. I have read that you don't have any symptoms of pregnancy the week after conception, but could cramps mean your body is doing something?
A. Yes, it is possible that the body could be doing something in relation to pregnancy but this kind of cramping can also sometimes be an indication of an infection such as with the cervix (an example only).
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

Why do online pregnancy calculators calculate you furthur than you really are?
Q. I know the exact date of conception, and I used an online pregnancy calculator to see what my due date was. Well, it calculated a whole week more than what I am. It said I was 8 weeks 4 days when in all reality, I am ALMOST 7 weeks. Why is that? Is there a reason it does it that way?
A. B/c they date your pregnancy from the 1st day of your missed period just like the doctors do. So even though u may know the exact day you conceived they will always go by your last period start date.
Why do they say pregnancy is NINE months?
Q. I've always been told that pregnancy lasts nine months, but with so many of my friends pregnant, they're using pregnancy calculators on facebook and it says pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, which is TEN months! What the heck? If that's right, then why have we always been told nine months? Why is it in the media? Why do they name fricken MOVIES after nine-month pregnancies just to confuse the crap out of us?
An explanation would be great, because everything I thought I knew about being pregnant is probably wrong. Thanks.

A. Well it's 9 months because months have more than 4 weeks the average is 4 weeks 3 days (4.33).
If you divide that by 40 you get 9.2 which would be 9 months 2 weeks but did you know the first 2 weeks of pregnancy you are actually not pregnant? But because doctors don't know the exact day that conception happen they start to count from your LMP.
Confusing right? But that is how it works.
