Positive pregnancy test

Hello everyone,
I took a HPT on the 16th and it was a very strong positive. However that was 11 days before AF is actually due, so I can't work out how many weeks I would be because I have no idea when I ovulated due to having irregular cycles. I rang the midwife to book in, but they want to know how far along I am. How do I figure it out? What I think was my last period was either the 16th or the 18th of March and usually I have 40 day cycles. However before March I hadn't had a period since December, but definitely wasn't pregnant the whole time because tests only started being positive on the 16th, and I had an ultrasound done for other medical reasons on the 5th of April, they didn't say anything about me being pregnant then, but if I was I doubt they'd have been able to see anything. Plus I didn't ask. Do I just ask for an ultrasound so I can find out? Thanks :-)

If your last period was 16th march then you would be roughly 6 weeks. That would have out you at 3 weeks when you had the ultrasound which is why they wouldn't have seen the pregnancy

My last period was the 18th of march and im 5 weeks 5 days.. if you tell the midwife at your booking in appointment that you are unsure when your last period was she will probably send you for a scan anyway! :)x

@FaithEloise I completely forgot about this post. Your squish must be a few weeks old now.
I was due on the 23rd of December but gave birth 6 days early 😊
