how far along am i pregnancy

To determine how far along a pregnancy is, the most common method is to calculate gestational age from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). Pregnancy is usually counted as 40 weeks (280 days) from the LMP, which includes the approximately two weeks before ovulation and conception actually occur. If you know the exact date of conception, that can also be used to estimate how many weeks pregnant you are by counting 38 weeks (266 days) from that date, as conception typically occurs about two weeks after the first day of your last period. If you provide the date of the first day of your last menstrual period or the conception date, the exact number of weeks and days pregnant can be calculated. Otherwise, a pregnancy test followed by an ultrasound can give a more precise estimate during prenatal care. Would you like help calculating how far along you are if you can provide the date of your last menstrual period or conception? This method is widely used because it sets a baseline for tracking pregnancy progress, prenatal milestones, and estimated due date.
