How long it takes to get pregnant after making physical relationship: Is it possible for a woman who got married 30 days ago to become one and a half month pregnant? Yes, this is absolutely possible if she has had physical relations with her partner with mutual consent before marriage. But, how is this possible without having a relationship before marriage? Especially when the marriage took place a month ago and only after that the couple had physical relations. This is a surprising thing. Imagine what the person with whom this incident has happened might be going through. It is natural for him to be scared and worried. Meenakshi (fictitious name) was in the same dilemma. Meenakshi’s marriage took place only 30 days ago. She was feeling different for a few days, like women feel during pregnancy. Meenakshi also wondered whether she was pregnant. She went to the doctor to get examined.
When the doctor did the test and the scan report came, the ground slipped from under Meenakshi’s feet. She was completely surprised after seeing the report. She told the doctor that she had got married only a month ago i.e. 30 days ago and she had had physical relations for the first time on her wedding night.
fetal age one and a half months
After examination, the doctor told Meenakshi that the scan showed the age of the fetus to be one and a half months, which was even before their marriage date. Hearing this, Meenakshi became even more nervous. He could not understand how this was possible? However, the doctor calmed him down and said that there was nothing to worry about.
What is the science behind this?
Then the doctor explained the science behind it to Meenakshi. The doctor explained to her how the gestational age is calculated. The doctor said that the gestational age is not counted from the day of conception, but from the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period (LMP). This is called gestational age.
This means that whenever a woman is confirmed to be pregnant, she looks about two weeks older than the actual date of conception. This is because ovulation and pregnancy usually occur about two weeks after the last menstruation. In such a situation, if the age of the fetus is shown in ultrasound as one and a half month, it does not mean that the woman had conceived one and a half month ago. This clearly means that it has been about six weeks (1.5 months) since her last menstruation.
In simple words, it is possible that Meenakshi may have conceived on her wedding night or after having sex with her husband for the first time. According to the doctor, it is just like counting a person’s age before his birthday. This is a common and scientific way for doctors to measure gestational age. Actually, any gynecologist uses LMP (last menstrual period) method because it is difficult to tell the exact day of conception. This method is also useful to understand whether the child is developing normally or not. When should prenatal screening be done?
