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 :lol:
:rofl: Sorry, can't even fathom helping- I'm confused already!!
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????
Hahaha & it's just clicked over to 18% now too :doh:
Hey Storm, I just noticed I'm only a day ahead of you :D
I worked it out and yours is definitely right, hmmmm odd!
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 :dunno:
maybe they do 38 or 42 weeks as term?
or 100 days rather then weeks(or how ever many it is)
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!
Could they be presuming date of conception, which would make pregnancy 266 days instead of 280 days?
I am terrible at math, so I'll leave it up to you to work it out, LOL.
You have the option of doing LMP, conception date or due date and they all calculate to being the same.
Hmmm, that's a bit odd. I think you just need a new ticker, LOL
But I like my ticker it's just a little confused, matches it's owner :nahnah: Maybe I should just fiddle with it & put in a dodgy date to get it to the right percent.
it says 18% now... (perhaps it's just waiting for the 2nd baby to catch up... lol. I still only think there's one!)
Well i just did one and it says im 19%. I was 9 weeks on Tuesday just gone.
Your calculations are correct. Maybe they are basing it on months instead of weeks?
I would change tickers otherwise each time you look at it you'll get disheartened ;)
Hmmm 10 weeks should be 25% & it comes up as 23% and then 11 weeks comes up as 26% so it seems to come good about there. WEIRD!
I think I'll stick with it, I know my weeks & days (have it on FB ;) ). I just liked this one cos it's different to all the rest :D
I changed my due date to make it right! It was bothering me :lol:
My midwife told me it's nine months and one day (a full term pregnancy) is that why maybe? I can't help you with the maths, not my strong point unfortunately :redface:
I think you mean 9 months one week, Linz ;)
Well, Sarah, your ticker, unlike other tickers, doesn't say the edd, so it doesn't matter that you changed it to be the correct %age. However, it will be interesting to see what happens when it nears your edd... :)
Yeah that's what I thought Tan.
So what edd does your ticker think is 23%?
I think I put it back to 27th of July which is 10w 6d.
This is what is says for my due date & this is why it's weird! I told it Aug 6th because of the time difference, but everything else is right except the percentage completed.
:
You are 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant
Only 30 weeks and 4 days left until your baby is born
You are at your 1st trimester
52 days have passed from your LMP and 214 days are left until your due date (08/6/10)
20% of your pregnancy is completed

Oh oops! Stoopid brain! :D
