Working out how far gone...

[LuBlu]

I'm newly pregnant - only found out a week last Friday!! I'm trying to understand whether I am 6 or 7 weeks. I started my last period on the 16th May, I think that I am 6.5 weeks pregnant, so, should I say I am 7 weeks (I'm in my 7th week) or 6 weeks as I've passed that milestone?
Very confused!!
Also, I have worked out (on an online due date calculator) that I am due 20th Feb, when the doctor looked at his 'wheel' with the same first day of last period, he came up with 2nd March - what's right?

Thank you, I'm sure you'll be hearing more from me over the next few months!!!

Using this http://www.hpathy.com/healthtools/delivery-dat e.asp i get a due date of 19th Feb 2009 and this would make you 6wks and 4days pregent.

This will be writen as 6+4 on your maternity notes. When you get your first scan the dates may change slightly but i doubt your GP is right unless you have very strange cycles.

congratulations!
