I had my period on October 6th, and today I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive.

Patient's question:

I had my period on October 6th, and today I took a pregnancy test and found out I'm pregnant. However, I don't know how to calculate the days. Today is November 17th. How many cycles of pregnancy would it be if I calculate it this way?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: The gestational period is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, which does not align with the actual time of pregnancy. The actual time of pregnancy occurs during the ovulation period after the last menstrual period.
Advice: Based on the calculation, you are approximately 6 weeks pregnant. The pregnancy duration is about 40 weeks.
