How many weeks pregnant am I"
OK, this may seem like a funny thing to ask Dr. Google, but it?s pretty common to be a little confused about your due date?or how many weeks pregnant you are?in the earliest stages of pregnancy, even if you?ve been tracking your cycles religiously, and even if you suspect you know the exact date of conception.
Here?s why: Pregnancy (which is an average of 40 weeks long) is actually measured from the first day of your last menstrual period?before you?ve finished bleeding, before you?ve ovulated and (often) before you?ve engaged in any, um, baby-making activity.
Many women don?t even bother taking a pregnancy test until they?ve ovulated, had sex, and missed a period. Home pregnancy tests will not work until you?re at least 5-6 days away from the expected date of your next period, anyway. (They measure the accumulation of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone, or HCG, in your urine.) Because most women?s menstrual cycles are around 28 days or four weeks long, some couples who are trying to conceive refer to the time between ovulation and being able to take a pregnancy test as the ?two week wait??or ?TWW,? in message-board acronyms.
