Pregnancy Question

I have a question. When does your dr. date the pregnancy? is it from the date of your last period or from the day of ovulation? I was just wondering because when I talked to my u/s teck. she was dating from ovulation and when I talked to my dr. she was dating from the last period. I have an appt. on Feb.3rd. This will be on my list of questions.
Good luck to you all.

My doc, and all other I have heard of, start from the first day of your period (first day of your cycle).

LMP is the standard dating method.

My doctor originally did it based on my last period...BUT, I said no way I was charting and besides I have extra long cycles (like 40ish days.) So, when my first u/s at 6 weeks (in my book more like 8 in theirs.) came up perfectly matching my date they switched it.

Thank you ladies for the great info. I had to go see my dr. friday due to some bleeding problems and they dated the baby at 6 wks 2 days. It is perfect in size and the heart beat was at 129 bpm. I was so excited because I thought I had another m/c. The date was right on for my last period. Thank you again and good luck to you all.
