okay i have a question. well a few. Im 5 months preg. and just found out im having a baby boy. but anyways, why do doctors determine the due date by the last period someone had? And can you get pregnant the day before a period? Or is it usually 2 weeks before a period or 2 weeks after a period? I had sex and that was late at night and then i had my period that morning. Like we had sex at like probably 3 in the morning and when we woke up after awhile i had my period. It was a normal period, nothing light or short or anything. Everything was normal. SO that means that wasnt when i got pregnant right? OKay sorry for all this. just a curious question.

Hi, Brittany,

The reason why they calculate from the last period is because nobody really knows when a woman ovulates or becomes pregnant. This started back before we had the knowledge we have today. I was taught in natural family planning training that ovulation occurs two weeks before the period begins. So if a woman is experiencing a period, she can't get pregnant the day before. Sometimes a woman will have unexplained bleeding that's not a period.

I hope this helps.

Hugs,
Pat
