Hi All, can anyone tell me when you start calculating how many weeks / days pg you are? Is day 1 the first day of your last proper period or do you start from the day of ET? Thanks Julie xx PS Are you still supposed to drink lots of water and can you still get ohss?

Hello Jules I was told to take day 1 from ET but some girls have been told from EC as that is when the eggs were fertilised. Each clinic has a different answer. It is deffo not from your last period. Yes, you must keep up the fluids as you could still get OHSS. It's Bl**dy hard to drink when you feel sick but you must try to. Look after yourself Love Dagny x

I was told to count 2 weeks back from ET. So although i only had my ET on 26th Nov, i am actually 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant(mon). So, technically you are 2 weeks pregnant before you even had ET, but this is correct, as most 'normal' conceptions count back from the last period anyway and conception would have occured up to 2 weeks after that period. So, if i remember rightly you were a day ahead of me, so you are 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant today and when you have the scan on 2nd jan you will be 7weeks and 3 days. Just copied this from my book about dating a pregnancy :'This means that at conception,the unborn child is already considered two weeks old!' hope this helps. helenx [Edited by helenlouise on 15-Dec-03 07:35]

I was told by the ARGC to count 2 weeks back from egg collection for a fake first day of last period. So my egg collection was June 12th. Fake last period was 30th May. I trist ATGC with everything. The obstetrician who's looking after me at my local hospital agrees with this. It makes no sense to use embryo transfer, which can be 2, 3, 5 or even 6 days after fertilisation with IVF!! Egg collection day is the same as ovulation day, and 'natural' pregnancies are calculated from 2 weeks before O!! Many congratulations. I bled the first 12 weeks of my pg, and with red blood pouring out at 6 weeks, 3 days before my scan, we though it was all over for us. Lori, 28 weeks + 4 days with twins!!

Hello all Sorry girls I have just re read my answer and have realized I forgot to put that day one is 'TWO WEEKS BACK' from ET! I am such a fool. It does pay to read back what you send. I blame it on pregnancy hormones. I have done some very daft things recently. I timed a jacket potato in the oven only to find when the buzzer went I hadn't even put it in the oven!! I am not thick really! Love Dagny x
