Why is my gestation age different from LMP?

Why is my LMP gestation is 38 weeks 4 days and gestation age by BPD /FL is 34 weeks

1 Answer
Dr. Himali Patel

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Answered on 23rd May '24

The Last Menstrual Period (LMP) calculates gestation from the start of your last period, while gestational age by Biparietal Diameter (BPD) or Femur Length (FL) measures the baby's size. The difference in weeks might be due to variations in fetal growth rates. Your obstetrician can provide more insight and guidance based on these measurements. It's always best to consult them for a clearer understanding of your pregnancy progress.

I’m 42 and I haven’t had a period in 3 months and the 3 before were lighter shorter but very crampy . 12 months ago I was having heavier, longer and more painful periods. I had an ultrasound, an internal ultrasound and a Pap test which all showed everything is normal. Recently I saw an OB GYN. I asked if I could be perimenopausal. She asked if I get hot flashes and when I said no she basically brushed off the question. I don’t get hot flashes and know that not always a symptom. I do have more facial hair, mood swings, sleep problems, night sweats and obviously irregular periods. She did a biopsy of my uterine lining. She did not ask if there was any possibility that I could be pregnant first. I am most likely not as my boyfriend has retrograde ejaculation and does not ejaculate when he orgasm. Her solution was to put in an IUD which I have not had done as of yet the appointment to do so is coming up. I understand that IUDs can lessen painful heavy periods that can occur before menopause. But as I am not having periods or any signs of a period would there be any benefit to this? I have heard many horror stories of IUDs and I’m just trying to make a good decision.

Female | 42

According to your symptoms, you are most likely having perimenopause. Women are told that menopause is only certain and official after 12 consecutive months without menstruating. It is suggested that you have a discussion with a gynecologist in regard to your symptoms and worries. They can make the decision for you whether an IUD will be suitable for you

I am 19 year old female and I had unprotected sex on 27 April for the first time and within 45 min I took the unwanted 72 tablet...my periods are delayed about 3 days....when will my periods come ???

Female | 19

Sometimes taking emergency contraceptive pills like Unwanted 72 can make your period come late, this is normal. Anxiety and stress also play a role in postponing periods. Give your period a week or more, it should show up.

After 45days of no periods, I had my USG that suggested PCOD with both ovaries bulky then I started on Deviry, after consulting a doctor. 2days prior to the start of medication I was involved in a protected sex for once. Now it's been 4days since last dose of Deviry, but still no periods. Is there any possibility that I might get pregnant? Please do reply

Female | 30

After taking deviry tablet to get periods you have to give at least 12to 15days for withdrawal bleed. As you had protected sex just once chances of pregnancy is less.

I'm missing my period for two days should I take pregency test

Female | 30

Missing your period for two days is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. But if you are sexually active and have missed your period, taking a pregnancy test is a good idea. Otherwise consult with a gynecologist or obstetrician for further evaluation and guidance on how to proceed.

Female | 30

Greenish or watery breast secretions are warning signs of breast infection or a hormonal imbalance. It is advisable to see a gynecologist, for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Do not wait for the symptoms to get worse and consult a doctor.

I have really bad buring in my vagina and I have getting a pap smear tomorrow but I need to know what it is and what they will be doing.i am a female and I am 22 years old

Female | 22

Burning could be due to infections like yeast or bacterial. During Pap smear, the doctor will use a speculum to gently open the vagina and examine the cervix. They will then collect cells from your cervix using a small brush or spatula, and send to a lab for analysis. The Pap smear is used to screen for abnormal cells on the cervix, which can be a sign of cervical cancer or other issues.

Ive been having dried up blood spotting for 3 days and i only had cramps for the first day i know im not pregnant since im 15 and i never had sex theres also some brown spotting when i wipe after i pee (kinda like when period is done)

Female | 15

Dried up blood spotting, cramps, and brown spotting can have various causes, even if you're not sexually active. It's possible that this could be related to hormonal changes, irregular periods, or other factors. Irregular are common, especially during the early years of menstruation.
