A member asked:

My last period started jan 8th. i found out on feb 6th that i was pregnant. i am messuring 5 weeks and 5 days. is that normal? along with spotting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, normal: We measure pregnancy length by the last period even though the first two weeks you haven't ovulated or conceived. Some spotting may occur early on in pregnancy and go on to full viability.
