Due Dates

Hey Ladies, quick question, how are due dates determined? This is my first pregnancy so I'm confused. My last period was around mid April 2025 but me&any boy friend didn't have sex until April 26 and when I go to the doctors they tell me I'm 14wks I'll turn 15wks on Wednesday. Can someone explain this please.

this is also why your due date this a guess. allow 2wks before or after.

The first 2 weeks you aren't actually pregnant they date it from your last period not when you ovulated and the sperm was implanted. So you would have conceived 10-14 days after your last period but those 10-14 days would be counted as being "pregnant"
