4573769 tn?1356672346 Generally the reason something like a conception calculator asks for the birth date or estimated due date is because it assumes the woman got that date from an ultrasound in their first trimester. Conception calculators also can be set to compute from the first day of the last period, for women who didn't have an ultrasound.
Avatar m tn s my child but am still confused. is it possible for a child to be born in the 10th month? how do i count the pregnancy stages/months? do i include the first two months or exclude to get 9 months? Besides has she gone with someone else after me? Pls explain the fertility period. i don't want to go for DNA Tests coz i really want to understand the menstruation and pregnancy stages/phases. i am extremely depressed and this could lead to a divorce.
Avatar f tn absolutely. you need to be on your birth control for at least two solid weeks for it to be effective.
623156 tn?1322865851 This uses actual developmental stages to divide up a pregnancy. From LMP to 12 weeks the embryo develops all the major organs and becomes a fetus. From 12 weeks to 27 weeks the fetus continues developing and reaches viability. From 27 weeks on the fetus finishes development and prepares for delivery. Here the second trimester begins at 12w 0d and the third at 27w 0d. Gestation: With this method you take the 40 weeks of gestation and divide by three.

Avatar m tn Am expected to give birth on 5 September 2013, When did I get pregnant ?
Avatar m tn The date from the scan suggests her last period started 7 weeks and 3 days ago as pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period.
Avatar f tn That is why pregnancy, which takes 38 weeks from conception to full-term birth, is counted as being 40 weeks long by doctors, textbooks, nurses, ultrasounds, everything. It's a common language and well known in the medical world, and continues to be used nowaways, to keep everything calibrated with the textbooks and the way doctors are taught. This leads to the rather peculiar phenomenon that the first two weeks of the GA count, the woman isn't actually pregnant yet.
Avatar f tn She should be due end of may just like me. So she is days away from giving birth. Baby girl. Test them both. Only way to know for sure. The hospital will ask if you want a dna test. Just say yes for clarity.

Avatar m tn I agree with worried....if her conception dates are that far from when you had sex with her, you're most likely not the father. HOWEVER...on that note.... you do NOT have to ejaculate/finish to get a woman pregnant. the entire time you're having sex, you are releasing pre-c*u*m and it has more than enough sperm to get a woman pregnant. You may not feel it, but it's there, so "pulling out" before you finish is NOT a way to avoid pregnancy...
Avatar f tn Hi all, I would like to know the approximate date of sexual intercourse, from the birth date: my son was born 01.26.2011 after a gestation of 36.3 weeks. Thanks a lot!!!
Avatar f tn The risk of neural tube defects is significantly reduced when supplemental folic acid is consumed in addition to a healthy diet before conception and during the first month after conception. Supplementation with folic acid has also been shown to reduce the risk of congenital heart defects, cleft lips, limb defects, and urinary tract anomalies. So you can see it's important!
Avatar f tn will be keyed to a 280-day pregnancy, although the length of a full-term pregnancy from conception to birth is 266 days. This is because they count pregnancy as beginning on the first day of your last period (since that can be seen, and conception is hidden). By saying "3 weeks in pregnancy," I assume you are saying it's been three weeks since you feel you conceived?
Avatar n tn Birth control pills are to be taken daily for them to work. Please go to the Planned parenthood website and learn about birth control options. And go to your doctor and discuss birth control options. Wear a condom in the mean time.
Avatar n tn Since I was wearing my birth control patch, the only thing we could think of was that the antibiotics from the doctor cancelled out my BC. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Confused!!
Avatar f tn its virtually impossible to know when exactly conception would have occurred. you can have sex one day and not have conception take place till another day. sperm can stay alive for awhile. its easier to determine when your due by your lmp.
Avatar m tn "I too would like to know: whether a HBV father can transmit HBV during conception. Of course, any research on the fetus is difficult.' Why do we need research on fetus to know if a HBV father can transmit HBV during conception? Can't they just count how many babies were HbsAg positive when they were born to HbsAg-negative mother and HbsAg-positive father? I haven't done any research on this topic, so maybe my thinking is too simple?
Avatar f tn By the time you are at week 40, a careful doctor asked to give an estimated conception date from an ultrasound is likely to say "plus or minus three weeks" or even more. Sometimes young women who later write alarmist posts on the Internet don't hear their doctor, they just hear a date. If you want, write the dates you had the sex with Mr.
Avatar f tn The best bet is to talk to your doctor. If your cycle is irregular it can be harder to pinpoint when you're ovulating. Diet, exercise and stress can also affect your body's ability to allow for ovulation and or conception. Keep trying and keep your chin up.
Avatar f tn It should be positive by now if you are pregnant (usually it should be positive by 14 days after conception). A pregnancy test would still be accurate even though you have continued to take the pills. If you are pregnant, you would want to stop taking the pills right away and call your doctor. There are cheap pregnancy tests at the dollar store. Good luck.
Avatar f tn If you are continuing to have negative urine pregnancy tests it is highly unlikely you are pregnant. It is much more likely you are starting the early stages of menopause. Perimenopause can start from mid to late 40's and the mean age for women going through menopause is 50. However it does not really correlate with your symptoms. I would highly recommend you do a little research on pregnancy at or after 50 so you are well informed before making any decision.
Avatar f tn I purchased it on amazon for about $25 and it was worth every penny!
