This is the beginning of your journey!
Technically speaking, you haven’t conceived quite yet. When talking about your first week of pregnancy, doctors refer to the first week of your last menstrual period (LMP) before you are expecting. In fact, you won’t conceive in just a few weeks.
So, why even count it?
For starters, tracking your cycle will help you be on the lookout for early pregnancy symptoms. After all, a missed period is one of the earliest signs. Doctors also count your LMP to help establish your baby’s due date.
