What does lmp mean in text?
lmp
If you are 7weeks 4 days by your LMP and you have an ultrasound and by the fetal measurements you are 7weeks 4 days did you most likely get pregnant before your LMP?
No. Doctors (and other medical professionals) measure pregnancy in terms of LMP. If you are 7 1/2 weeks pregnant according to your doctor, you probably became pregnant about 5 weeks ago. This assumes you have the standard 28 day cycle, and became pregnant at mid cycle. LMP is not an accurate way to date a pregnancy. If you are in doubt, an ultrasound before the 18th week LMP is the most effective way to date your pregnancy.
When it says that an ultrasound is most accurate at 12 weeks does that mean gestational age or the time since LMP?
The earlier it is the more accurate it is whether from conception or from LMP, but if you say 12 weeks you mean from LMP.
If an ultrasound said you were 10 5 and it matched your lmp near enough does this mean you were only 8 5 weeks Do they add on 14 days to get your lmp?
Pregnancies are always measured from your lmp so it sounds as if your ultrasound is spot on. They don't add 14 days or anything but it will be 8 weeks 5 days since you conceived
If you ovulated late are your pregnancy weeks supose to be less than your actual lmp date?
Yes. Unless you have a 28 day cycle, your personalized due date will be less than your LMP due date.
How many days after periods you can identify pregnancy?
Pregnancy can be confirmed about 4 weeks after the first day of your LMP (last period) or about the time your next period is due to begin.

Last Menstrual Period
How do you explain a hemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst and a positive pregnancy test while someone is bleeding 16 days after LMP?
1/ The corpus luteum is formed when the follicle releases the ovum at ovulation, when there is always some bleeding. If the bleeding is excessive, a corpus luteum cyst develops. 2/ If pregnancy results, the corpus luteum persists to produce pregnancy to assist the pregnancy Anna
Does breast tenderness always mean pregnancy?
No, they can be tender when you're starting your period or when there is illness as well. Breast tenderness can be a sign of pregnancy, but it doesn't always mean that you are pregnant when it occurs either.
Your doctor says that an us is more accurate than lmp because a lot of woman don't remember their lmp and that you could ovulate at different times how true is this?
Women have cycles that are not all the same length but most women ovulate 14 days before a period is due. That is what makes the difference. At 7 weeks ultrasounds are accurate to within 3 days. At 20 weeks they are accurate within 5 days When I had my first pregnancy my cycle was 36 days which would mean my EDD would be 8 days early if my LMP was used, my US agreed with my cycle not my LMP. When I had my second pregnancy my cycle was 28 days and my ultrasound agreed with my LMP. So you are saying that the ultrasound is more accurate? Yes, the ultrasound is more accurate. I did go round the houses a bit to say it.

Is your LMP date is when you got pregnant?
They consider your LMP (Last Monthly Period) to be the starting day of your last period, they track the 40 weeks of pregnancy from that, but no, it's not the actually day where you ovulated and got pregnant. You usually ovulate about 2 weeks AFTER your LMP so technically when you are "4 weeks pregnant" the baby is only 2 weeks.
