Last Menstrual Period (LMP)

A pregnancy's duration is marked in weeks, starting from the first day of a woman's last menstrual period, or LMP. If the menstrual cycle is normal, and ovulation occurs on day 14 of the cycle, conception takes place roughly two weeks after the LMP. Therefore, a woman is considered six weeks pregnant, two weeks after she misses her period.
