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

Do you actually get pregnant before your LMP or after your last LMP?

Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), but conception typically occurs about two weeks after that, during ovulation. Therefore, you are not actually pregnant before your LMP; pregnancy begins after your LMP when an egg is fertilized following ovulation. The gestational age of a pregnancy is counted from the LMP to provide a standardized way to track development.

What does lmp mean?

LMP stands for "Last Menstrual Period." It refers to the first day of a woman's most recent menstrual cycle and is commonly used in medical contexts, particularly in obstetrics, to estimate gestational age and calculate due dates during pregnancy. LMP helps healthcare providers track the timing of pregnancy-related developments.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.

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
