Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your menstrual cycle is irregular, the ultrasound of the fetal bud in the early pregnancy can be used as a reference to estimate the approximate duration of pregnancy. Additionally, the ultrasound at 12 weeks is also used as a basis for calculating the estimated due date. If your menstrual cycle becomes irregular, it is based on the size of the gestational sac from the first color Doppler ultrasound for estimation.Advice: It is recommended to undergo regular prenatal examinations. If any abnormalities are detected, seek medical attention promptly. Intercourse should be avoided during the early stages of pregnancy.
Based on your description, if you have menstrual cycles every two months, it is best to rely on the initial ultrasound for estimation. Early ultrasound can estimate the duration of pregnancy based on the size of the gestational sac. Since your menstrual cycle is irregular, it is advised to have an ultrasound to estimate the date of pregnancy.
