If you suspect you are pregnant and want to know how far along you are
Calculating the correct gestational age does not start from the day of intercourse or the day you start feeling unusual, but must be counted from the “first day of the last menstrual period” This means the actual day of menstrual bleeding (not the last day of the cycle)
Example of calculating gestational age
- If the first day of the last menstrual period is March 1
- And today is April 1
- It means you are approximately 4 weeks pregnant
Even if you had intercourse after that day, counting from the first day of the menstrual period is the standard used by doctors to assess gestational age
Why count gestational age from the first day of the menstrual period?
- It is the international standard method used by doctors to assess gestational age
- Used to plan examinations such as ultrasounds and to choose appropriate care options
- Helps to know if you are in the period where you can receive services or consult about unplanned pregnancy in a timely manner
