Does 6 weeks pregnant mean from lmp or conception ?

Question

Hi I was wondering when I could have a early ultrsound I was reading at 6 weeks gestation but I not sure does that mean from my last period or two after (conception) Thanks

Answer 1

Most doctors count from your LMP as the large majority of women don't actually know when conception occurred.  But, each doctor is different, so I would check with yours to find out exactly when they are counting from.

Answer 2

they go by your lmp as the exact date of conception is hard to find out

Answer 3

Its is from your LMP, if you have a normal 28 day cycle you can calculate your conception date by adding 2 weeks to your LMP date.  I had an early ultrasound at 5 weeks and 6 days and that was from my LMP

Answer 4

If it's from LMP, the baby would still not be visible. You would only see the amniotic sac.. It's too early.. If it's from conception, the baby would be visible already as a tiny peanut.. Im guessing they mean from LMP.

Answer 5

I am pretty sure it means from your LMP

unless you know the exact date of when you got pregnant

Answer 6

doctors go from your lmp to work out how far gone you are, so 6 weeks gestation is from your last period  

Answer 7

From the day of conception.

So the day you got pregnant you were concidered two weeks pregnant.  

Answer 8

If it is from your doctor they count from your LMP
