Doctors actually consider the first week of pregnancy to be the week of your menstrual period. The second week is when the sperm fertilizes the egg. Week 3 is when the egg splits into about 500 microscopic cells. Week 4 is the actual beginning stages of the development of the embryo and most likely the week that you find out you are pregnant! -Kharrima
I Agree with the Above. But Some people still believe it is EXACTLY 9 Months before they give Birth (Obviously Does not count for Premature or Overdue Babies. :) ) Though, My Mother's Doctor think it Is When the Embryo starts being made.-Poison2007

Does LMP always mean pregnancy?
LMP stands for the date of your Last Menstrual Period. It is used to determine an estimated due date but can be used in basic medical records also
When does your pregnancy date start?
Your pregnancy date typically starts from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). This method is used because it's often difficult to determine the exact date of conception. Pregnancy is usually about 40 weeks long, calculated from the LMP date, which means that conception generally occurs about two weeks after that date.
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.
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.
How many days in a pregnancy after conception?
A full term human pregnancy is to 259 - 280 days or 37-40 weeks. This is calculated from the first day of your last period, so to be more accurate, if conception took place 14 days after the first day of your last period, you need to subtract 14 days from the 259-280 days. However, the way the medical community gages it, a woman is considered 2 weeks pregnant the day she conceives because they chart the pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual cycle.
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.

What is the algorithm used for pregnancy due date calculators?
Naegele's Rule is a mathematical formula often used in pregnancy due date calculators. This is a formula that adds 7 days to the first LMP and then subtracting three months from that figure.
What does lmp mean after the doctors name?
"LMP" stands for "Last Menstrual Period." It is commonly used in medical records to indicate the date of a patient's last period, which is crucial information for determining the estimated due date of a pregnancy. This information helps healthcare providers track the progress of the pregnancy and monitor the health of both the mother and the baby.
When do insurance companies consider the start of a pregnancy. First OBGYN appt or the date they calculated that one conceived?
Neither, actually. The date that is printed on all of the claims is the date of your last menstrual period, your LMP. This is the date that is used when claims are filed.
If LMP is unknown fetus is 24weeks gestational age on 28th March can one calculate the LMP and the date of conception What would be approximate date range?

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.
