When Did I Conceive?

How Far Along Am I?

Our conception calendar is a great first step, but an ultrasound is the most accurate way to determine when you conceived and how far along you are in your pregnancy. They can also confirm if your pregnancy is viable! 

What is a Viable Pregnancy?

A viable pregnancy means that, in the early stages, growth and development are progressing as expected. For example, after about 6 weeks gestation, the embryo’s heartbeat can be detected by an ultrasound.[1] If you’re considering abortion, this is important to know, because a significant number of pregnancies end on their own in miscarriage.[2] 

The ultrasound also can show if the pregnancy is inside the uterus. A small number of pregnancies form outside the uterus, known as ectopic pregnancy. Not only can ectopic pregnancies be life-threatening, but the abortion pill doesn’t treat them[3]—in either case, abortion is no longer an option to consider.
