    Wink 1st Time pregnancy

    Hi everyone, I was an active member on here about a year ago when my hubby and I first started TTC. We did this for 6 months before deciding that the timing wasn't right and we would revisit it later. I went off the pill a few days after Christmas, got my period around the 26th of December. I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant!! The home pregnancy tests (2 different brands) were very faint, and I went to the doctors, the doctors preg test was very faint too. She did an internal exam while she was getting a pap smear and said it all looked like I was pregnant. I did another home one today and it was very quick to come up positive!! She thinks I concieved about 2 weeks ago, so does that make me 2 weeks or 5 weeks preg LOL I'm not sure if they go from conception date or LMP??

    "The average length of pregnancy is calculated as 40 weeks because it is counted from the first day of the woman’s last period, not the date of conception, which generally occurs two weeks later. " - http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/b...egnancyDueDate

    You can calculate your due date at that link above, as you just got off the pill i assumed a 28 day cycle and got an EDD of 1st Oct for you, that makes you 5 weeks and 4 days. Don't forget to join your bellybuddy due date group - they are amazing! the link is here, Belly Buddies due ~ October 1st-15th 2011
