Something is broken, is it my brain or my ticker?!

[{sarah}]

My ticker says 17% of my pregnancy has passed, but I think that's wrong.

I work it out to be 21% because I'm almost 9 weeks pregnant.

I work 17% out to be only just short of 7 weeks.

I've checked the dates are right on the site & everything is as it should be so I'm wondering is my calculation right or the ticker? My brain hurts

Sorry, can't even fathom helping- I'm confused already!!

[storm]

OOOO Nope, I can't help either. Thinking is no good these days sorry.

ETA I just went & made one & mine said I was 15% preggie????

[{sarah}]

Hahaha & it's just clicked over to 18% now too

Hey Storm, I just noticed I'm only a day ahead of you

[Indadhanu]

I worked it out and yours is definitely right, hmmmm odd!

[{sarah}]

Oh thank goodness, I thought I was going crazy!

To put it simply, 4 weeks is 10% of 40 weeks, so 8 weeks has to be 20% so I just don't know how they are calculating it

[Oorki Galoorki]

maybe they do 38 or 42 weeks as term?
or 100 days rather then weeks(or how ever many it is)

[{sarah}]

Nope, that would make it 23% and even 42 weeks would make it just on 20%

I've sent them an email as well to try & figure it out. This is driving me nuts trying to figure it out!
