Are you pregnant ladies going by you gestational (lmp) or fetal age (via u/s), I know it usually depends on your provider as to which on they use but idk which mine are actually using lol

Hey you! How's it going? I pretty much knew the date of my conception but my dr goes by my lmp since the sperm can live inside for up to 5 days.

I know a lot of drs only go by the gestation so they wont even mention a fetal age, the fetal age is 2wks behind the gestational, its just one of those up in the air things I guess lol

oh ok im 11wks by ultrasound (they only measured the yolk sac) and 13wks gestational age, I know with my 1st pregnancy I went by gestation and she game right on her due date, so I might start saying 13wks instead of 11wks
