Hi,
You'd think Id know this from last time but I cant remember when you count from, is it the start of your last period or the date you conceived?!
Thanks in advance for any replies :)!

from the date of your last period

yep, date of last period.
Can get EDD and how many weeks from interweb!

BUT, if you have very long or short cycles, it may be out. Everything assumes all women have a 28 day cycle.

I'm 5 weeks 1 day from my last period but I know exactly when I ovulated (it was late) so I think I can just add two weeks to this instead of the usual way, so I'm 4 weeks 2 days. If anyone knows if I've got that wrong please let me know! I think they assume everyone ov's at day 14 for the usual way, which isn't the case.

This is good if you know your ov date/when you conceived:
