This is a question for your Dr., not strangers on an internet forum.

How on earth should we know how far along you are in a pregnancy??? SMH

Go see your doctor. No one else can figure this out. Chances are, you will likely get a better indication of how far along you are through the use of ultrasound and measurements, probably at what would be your 20 week appointment.

Only your doctor can give you this information.

Welcome to mamapedia

You need to go to your OB/GYN to get an ultra sound done and find out when. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV or the internet.

The only way you will find out how far along you are is with an ultra sound.

Good luck!

Well, are you showing? That would be a good indication. If you aren't? No way of knowing.

Go to your doctor and get an ultra sound done to find out how far along you are. The other indication will be when your baby arrives.

anywhere between a few weeks to 7 months... get to a dr to get an ultrasound.
unless you were keeping track of intercourse and only had it a handful of times then i may be able to narrow that window. but with so little info, and not knowing your medical history nor having access to you to perform an ultrasound i have no way of knowing

The baby will get here when it gets here.
Only an ultrasound will be able to estimate age - and they can be off by several weeks give or take.
For me - when my belly button popped out (like a pop up timer), I had about a month to go before birth.
When the baby comes get your tubes tied.

I am so sorry that your contraception failed. It must be so confusing for you right now.

However, there is no way to calculate your pregnancy without either a pelvic exam or an ultrasound from your doctor (or both), unless you had intercourse on only a few recent occasions. Please contact your doctor right away. There is just no way we can estimate this - you can estimate it yourself, right? You need a doctor, nurse practitioner or women's clinic medical staff to help you.

My daughter got pregnant on the Depo shot. It was CRAZY!!

The only way to know exactly how far along you are is to have blood work done to see where your hormone levels are or to do an ultra sound to see the size of the baby.

You can go to your local county health department and get testing done there. My daughter went to the OR and they did a vaginal ultrasound to see how far along she was. She'd had a miscarriage a few weeks before and knew that deceased baby was still inside her because her body was still acting like she was pregnant.

Come to find out she was still pregnant, she'd been carrying twins and only lost one of them. It was a sad miscarriage. You could see the little baby in the tissue that she expelled when she stood up one time. But my second grandson was born a few months later and he was healthy and strong.
