Working out how far along?

Hiya, sorry to be a pain, I've tried googling this and reading old threads but I'm just confusing myself!

If my last period was August 2nd - August 8th, so ended 6 weeks 4 days ago, roughly how far along am I likely to be? I have a call with maternity tomorrow but no set appointment yet, just wanted to try get a better idea. I've been testing positive for a week, the clear blue test I have says 3+ weeks which I know is 5+ but have also read they can be a bit temperamental. Thank you!

Your dates would go from the first day of your last period
So you would be 7 weeks and 4 days.

You wont have your first appointment with a midwife until between 8 and 10 weeks.

You'll then get your proper timeline at your 12 week scan.

I thought i was 7 weeks and 4 days at an early transvaginal scan.

So i stuck with that, until i got to my 12 week scan in which it put me 2 days ahead.

Everything will come together when you've had a scan! X

@LER2023 thank you so much! Ah, I wasn't sure if you had a face to face appointment before 12 weeks or not, I'll see what they say on the phone then. :)

Thank you @OnePithyPamplemousse , I found a few calculators but only for an estimated due date and was confusing myself working backwards, hadn't come across the one you've sent.
