Last period vs Pregnancy Test

Hi, very recently found out I’m pregnant and just wondering if people follow what the tests says or from your last period?

From your last period

Thank you, is it from the date of your first last period or the last day? X

Congratulations 🥰 ❤️ You go by the first day of your last period. X

Congratulations! First day of your last period! If your using the clear blue with weeks indicator you add 2 weeks to what it says which should match up more or less to the first day of your last period xx

The clear blue with weeks shows you how long since conception, but you need to date your pregnancy from the first day of your last period. This is in the clear blue instructions if in doubt

I’ve always done first day of last period then gone for an early scan anyway to get a better time frame. An early dating scan is great too xx

@Shannon when would you suggest going for one? Last period was 5 weeks + 3 days xx

@Charley thank you

@Daisy I'd suggest a scan about 7-8 weeks, they've got little arm buds and look like little aliens at that stage! If you go much earlier than that it's just a round blob with a heart beat, if you go too early (5-6 weeks) you run the risk of it being too small to see

@Lauren thank you

Unless you were tracking ovulation I’d go with LMP. Based on my LMP I’m supposedly 9 weeks already but I know for definite when I ovulated so I’m really only 6+3 x
