Question

How do you count your pregnancy?

I got a very faint wondfo prgnancy test at night 11 dpo yesterday and today again at 12 dpo i took a test and it was little darker than the last night one.
I think i'm pregnant but i wanna know how do you guys count your pregnancy?
i know that Doctors count pregnancy from the last day of your period but if i know my ovulation date so can i count pregnancy from ovulation day? i think it will be more accurate? isnt it?
let me know How do you guys count yours if you know ovulation date?

Doctors count from the first day of ur last period until an ultrasound gives them a more accurate dating. U could use ur ovulation date but nothing is an exact, even temping, so I would just stick with ur lmp until a scan says otherwise. I knew my O date but I just stuck with lmp so things didnt get confused with the doctors dates vs mine. At the end of the day, hes the one with the degree so I trust him...it was onlya diff of a cpl days anyways.

dakota is right, the exception being if you are undergoing fertility treatments that allow you to know your exact O or fertilization date (like triggered IUI or IVF). The doctors went by my O date but that's because we used an Ovidrel injection to exactly determine it. Congrats on the pregnancy! :)

I would go with my ovulation date with this baby of mine cause I ovulated early on my 9th cycle day. I have not had an ultrasound yet so I am excited to see if I'm correct.
