Q. I know they say "every pregnancy is different" but still what is the general answer.
A. I think you are supposed to have gained around 10-14 pounds by this point according to a weight calculator I used. I have only gained 5 pounds and feel like that is more than enough. I am 21 weeks pregnant!
I started out at a normal height and weight. 5'3'' and 124 pounds.

How many pregnancy tests did you take before it became positive? How far along were you?
Q. I took a couple pregnancy tests already a week or so ago but they were negative but I have all the classic signs of pregnancy. Just wondering how far along you were and simply out of curiousity how many tests you took. I would be about 4 weeks according to an online pregnancy calculator
A. Most at home pregnancy tests will not give an accurate reading until your missed period, unless you get the "first response" test, which tells you a few days before. I took one at about 4 weeks that was negative, and thought "oh well I must just be going crazy cuz i'm not pregnant". Then at 6 weeks I took one that was positive, and again the next day, then went to the doctor and it was confirmed. So it is possible that it is too soon to tell. I would wait another week or so, or until your period is suppose to come. By that point you should get an accurate reading. If you still don't get your period and are still concerned about pregnancy, you can go to the doctor and have them do a blood test. I have known women who were pregnant but their at home tests came up negative. It is not common, but it is possible.
When pregnant, do the weeks pregnant actually start at the beginning of your last period?
Q. Meaning, if I'm 8 weeks pregnant, that really means conception occurred about 6 weeks ago but you're counting from your period date?
A. Yes pregnancy is counted from the start of your last period! This being becasue it is to unpredictable to say when you ovulated and when conception occurred! That is an estimate of 6 weeks ago for conception because it could just as likely have occurred 5 weeks ago! I wouldn't worry about when baby was conceived and concentrate on things like due date and how far along you are at this point! You should be seeing an OB/GYN in the next few weeks for your important first appointment! Here is some cool sites on pregnancy that I like and maybe you'll find them fun too! I also gave you a pregnancy due date calculator! Good luck!
Do you start calculating pregnancy the day of intercourse?
Q. I know they say to calculate based on your last menstrual cycle but mine has always been extremely irregular and I have no idea when that was. The only thing I am sure about is the exact date of intercourse. So I would like to know straight up whether I can start counting 9 months from that date? If I do that then I am 6 weeks pregnant but I would like to know if that is accurate?
A. That's how I calculated my due date as I had irregular cycles at the time, but I had only had sex the one time. Baby was born right on time. The doc used measurements at 6 months to make a due date estimate and our estimates only varied by 3 days. Keep in mind that there will be some variance because you don't actually get pregnant the day you have sex. It is way more accurate if you have irregular cycles!
If you look for due date calculators, there are ones that are based on conception date. Try some of those to work it out. It is not true that you must have an ultrasound to figure out a due date. When you only had sex once during a whole cycle, it doesn't take expensive technology to figure it out.
