How do I date my Pregnancy?

Hello, I am new to this forum. I don't really understand the dating of a pregnancy and how to work out your due date. I have had 3 previous miscarriages the last one being 20th Feb, my OH and myself did not plan on getting pregnant again so soon, I did a test as I had the sore lower back and dizziness from before. I have used the clearblue date the conception which said 3+ weeks. Does that mean I am 5 weeks pregnant? This is the info I got of the test leaflet.....

Thanks in advance.

Hi again!
I had my last mc on the 25th of Feb. and I am now 6wks 1day! my doctor just used my last mc as the last menstrual cycle. she said that's all they can do until I have my dating scan at 8 weeks. hope this helps.

Yeah the 3+ weeks means since conception so I would say your at least 5 weeks (s pregnancy dated from last period which is usually around two weeks prior to ovulation. Your dating scan will confirm. Congrats on your pregnancy!xx

I will be visiting my doctor tomorrow see what he thinks. All a big shock so early after m/c but my symptoms seem a lot stronger this time round which is good!!
