How long does it take to get pregnant after having a physical relationship? Is it possible for a woman to get pregnant without having physical relations? Probably not, but according to a viral news on social media, the woman herself told this shocking thing to the doctor. According to the woman, she got married 30 days ago, she had physical relations for the first time after marriage, but the test revealed that she was one and a half months pregnant. How is this possible? The doctor explained the entire science behind it.

How long does it take to get pregnant after having a physical relationship? Is it possible for a woman to get married 30 days ago and become pregnant at the age of one and a half months? Yes, it's entirely possible if she had consensual physical relations with her partner before marriage. But how is this possible without prior sexual intercourse? Especially if the marriage took place a month ago and the couple only engaged in physical relations after that. This is a shocking thing. Imagine what the person who experienced this must be going through. It's natural for her to be scared and worried. Meenakshi (fictitious name) was in a similar dilemma. Meenakshi had been married only 30 days ago. For a few days, she had been feeling different, like women experience during pregnancy. Meenakshi also wondered if she was pregnant. She went to the doctor to get tested.

When the doctor performed the test and the scan results arrived, Meenakshi was utterly stunned. She told the doctor that she had been married just 30 days ago and had sex for the first time on her wedding night.

After examining the fetus's age,
the doctor informed Meenakshi that the scan showed the fetus to be one and a half months old, which was even earlier than their wedding date. Hearing this, Meenakshi became even more alarmed. She couldn't understand how this was possible. However, the doctor calmed her down and said there was nothing to worry about.

What's the science behind this?
The doctor then explained the science behind it to Meenakshi. He explained how gestational age is calculated. The doctor explained that gestational age is calculated not from the day of conception, but from the first day of a woman's last menstrual period (LMP). This is called gestational age.

This means that when a woman's pregnancy is confirmed, she appears to be approximately two weeks older than the actual date of conception. This is because ovulation and conception typically occur approximately two weeks after the last menstrual period. Therefore, if an ultrasound shows the fetus to be one and a half months old, it doesn't mean the woman conceived a month and a half ago. It simply means that it has been approximately six weeks (1.5 months) since her last menstrual period.

Simply put, it's possible that Meenakshi conceived on her wedding night, or the first time she had sex with her husband after marriage. According to the doctor, this is like counting a person's age from their birthday. This is a common and scientific method used by doctors to measure gestational age. Gynecologists often use the LMP (last menstrual period) method because it's difficult to pinpoint the exact date of conception. This method is also useful for determining whether the baby is developing normally. It's also important for determining when prenatal screening should be performed.
