How to determine the duration of pregnancy

Patient's question:

Hello expert: My last menstrual period was on September 29th. After that, I had three periods of time with my partner. The first was from October 4th to 6th, the second was from October 9th to 18th, and the third was from October 21st to 23rd. Each time we had sexual intercourse. When I went for a check-up on November 8th, the doctor told me that I was already 40 days pregnant. Because I had taken medication in the middle, I would like to know the specific period of pregnancy. Please tell me, thank you very much!

Doctor's answer:

You don't need to worry about your pregnancy time; the calculation starts from your last menstrual period. If you used emergency contraception in the meantime, it can have a significant impact on the baby. Go to the hospital immediately and explain the situation to a gynecologist. If you really used contraception, I suggest you have a miscarriage and wait three months before trying to conceive a healthy baby. Generally, doctors recommend that women with high-risk prenatal examination signs maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and stay away from cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
