britneybabyy · Apr 11th, 2012, 11:34 AM

ok so iv done a few calculations on some sites one says im 4 weeks, another says 5 weeks.... my clear blue digital said 3+ (i know u add on another 2 to that) my baby app says im, 5 weeks tomorrow.
got first midwife app tomorrow... just wondering if other people are getting different weeks???

It might be because of the leap year, some sites 'forget' about the extra day, so class you as 4 weeks and 6 days rather than 5 weeks. And then just tell you how many 'whole' weeks you are, ie 4 weeks. I had this just after my BFP when sites were telling me I was 3 weeks pregnant! Go by LMP until you have a dating scan or midwife tells you otherwise.

I wouldnt worry i have been given 3 due dates by the professionals so i wouldnt bother trying to work it out yourself you will probably be told your wrong as they work it out differently. Just make sure you know the first date of your last period.

to be 5 weeks tomorrow the first day of your last period would have had to have been 8th March....is that right? Also if you are 5 weeks the clear blue is right with the 3+ weeks because they go from ovulation so 2 weeks is then added from your period to ovulation IYKWIM x
