“If it was two to three weeks after conception, that would actually make her about five weeks pregnant.”

Wut?

Must be that Common Core math. Yea I don’t get it either. What it means is if she was pregnant, she was not far along. She could have taken ru486 or Ella, yet she does this?

Pregnancy weeks are counted from the date of the start of the last menstrual period. If the woman has a really irregular cycle the doctor will adjust the dates later when measuring the growing baby via ultrasound, but it’s still counted from 2 weeks before conception. I think when all of this was set up, people did not understand exact when conception happened, so dating it that way was what they did.

And I think she faked it.

Because ovulation isn’t so easy to know, doctors time a pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period. This is actually about two weeks before actual conception happens.

So, if they tell a woman that she’s six weeks pregnant, conception actually happened about four weeks ago.

I’ve seen this cause some concern with fathers who don’t understand this.

They say that a human pregnancy is about 40 weeks, but (in reality) it’s about 38 weeks from ‘the act’.

So, if she’s saying that she’s ‘three weeks pregnant’... well, it doesn’t work. By pregnancy math, three weeks pregnant would actually be one week after conception happened and it would been too soon to actually get a positive pregnancy test.

If she was going by the date of conception (which is really stupid, because she admits that she doesn’t know the DOC), then she would be ‘five weeks pregnant’ and that’s too soon to see on an ultrasound and a week too soon to get the procedure.

She’s full of BS.

What they're saying is that there are two ways of calculating pregnancy: exactlyfrom the time of conception, or approximately from the last menstrual period. Since it's easy to objectively observe when was the last menstrual period, and difficult to pinpoint exactly when a conception occurred, the clinics usually use the LMP figure. Which is going to be approximately 2-3 weeks before the conception.
