Is March 13th the only time you've had sex? If not, what kind of protection did you use? Contraceptives are not 100% at avoiding pregnancy.

You can use online pregnancy calculators to determine your due date and how far along you are. The one I used said you are 8 weeks 2 days pregnant and are due on December 18th.

A sonogram will be better at dating your pregnancy this early on in case any of the dates are off. They can be off by 1-2 weeks and it's normal.

well march 13th was the time we started haven unprotected sex ...
an i found out on april 6th that i had a positive test ...

Oh phooey, I used March 13th as your last period. Do you know the date of your last period? That's what you'd need to use in a pregnancy calculator. You're probably more like 9-10 weeks.

I had also gotton pregnant March 13th the day I got married and had a miscarraige the day before Easter. My LMP about Febuary 26th.Right now you are about 10 weeks 3 days your due date should be December 4th  ??? I hope all goes well. Hope it helps. Good luck

Also here is a little bit of information. Sperm can live in your body from a few hours to as long as 7 days. Also your LMP and how many cycle days you have may change when you conceived. I found out I was pregnant March 24th.

Hi,
If you had an ultrasound on Apr. 16th, and they said that you were about 6 weeks along, I would definately go with what the ultrasound says.  They are usually pretty accurate because they take measurments of the baby, and that shows them the baby's age.  Of course, give or take a few days.  You are most likely around 9 weeks by now, of course give or take a few days ;-)

Congrats!
Tara

Early ultrasounds are VERY accurate, usually only off by a few days to a week at the most. Congrats!!

It sounds like you have longer cycles (which is why you ovulated later). Women don't ovulate 2 weeks after their period. They ovulate 2 weeks before their next period. That is why you didn't conceive until mid-March. I would say you're about 10 weeks pregnant.

the u/s would have been pretty accurate. i also had one at 6 weeks and it was the only scan i've had that was bang on with dates. don't forget though, take 2 weeks off that for a rough idea of when you conceived...pregnancy isn't counted from when conceived, but roughly 2 weeks before around the time of the first day of your last period.
