Sorry if this sounds totally stupid but can someone explain how pregnancy weeks are measured?
I believe I ovulated on 17th June. We DTD on 16th, 18th and 19th. I got a positive test on 28th.
I have been using the Ovia pregnancy app since, and it notes today as the start of my 4th week of pregnancy. However I know I conceived eith 13, 15 or 16 days ago, which surely makes me more like 2 weeks pregnant?
I have done some googling and it seems pregnancy it measured from the start of your previous period just cause that's easier to measure. My query now though, is will I have the 12 week scan at the real 12 weeks since conception, or the 12 weeks of pregnancy (when I'd actually be more like 10 weeks)? I'm trying to plan when I can tell people and also when to tell work (complicated contract issue) so this detail is actually quite important... and I am very confused!
