Question
i need some help. my last period was on october 9th...i am currently pregnant? but when did i get pregnant?? have i actally only beeing growing a living being for 8 weeks??

Answer
Dear Ashley,

Sorry about the delay in answering - I am actually supposed to be on vacation, but the system apparently did not set correctly. I happened to check in to make sure and saw there were three days worth of questions, so I will attempt some short answers while I have a house full of company going in thirty different directions around me! :-)

If your LMP began on 10/9 and you have regular 28 day menstrual cycles, I would calculate that your estimated conception date was 10/23, making you approximately 10 weeks, 6 days along today. (Pregnancy calculations are based on the date of the LMP) Your estimated due date would be 7/15/08.

I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well and a Merry Christmas!

Brenda
