Pregnancy Week Calculator
The woman's uterus begins to thicken to help and ensure pregnancy. This is caused by a hormone called estrogen. At the highest level of this hormone, ovulation occurs in the week in the middle of the woman's menstrual cycle. The egg ready for fertilization is released into the woman's ovaries. From this point on, when it meets the sperm, pregnancy occurs. Since it is difficult to understand exactly what day this occurs, the calculation of the gestational week is based on the date of your last menstrual period. This eliminates confusion about the date of ovulation.
Pregnancy Calculator
Although some women know that they usually get pregnant in the middle of their menstrual cycle, there are cases that do not fit the average. It could be a fertilization at a different time or even a late fertilization. For this reason, the pregnancy calculation is based on the date of the last menstrual period and the confusion is prevented by accepting that the pregnancy was conceived after this menstrual date. However, if the date of the last menstrual period and the gestational week are not compatible, a new date is calculated according to the development of the baby during the ultrasound examination. In this way, confusion that may arise during screening tests in the following weeks of pregnancy and when calculating the estimated date of birth is prevented.
