Am I crazy? (First tri question)

I'm not sure what is actually going on with this girl but I interpret her doctor's statement that she might be "one week pregnant" as she might be "one week post-conception". All the girls are like, "your doctor is dumb because you can't be one week pregnant.  On the date of conception you're two weeks pregnant."

My take:  Um, you CAN be one week pregnant.  You conceived a week ago.  You're just CONSIDERED two weeks pregnant at conception because it simplifies things in a standard pregnancy. 

Right?

You are technically not pregnant for the first 2 weeks, then you conceive around that time and find about about 2 weeks later.  So technically yes, even though that is not how most people calculate when they tell you how many weeks they are. 

ETA:  So approximately it is

1 week period

1 week nothing then ovulation around day 14 (obviously this varies)

2 week wait

BFP at 4 weeks pregnant even though you've only had a fertilized egg in your ute for 2 weeks.

I'm thinking the doctor meant one week post conception.

What happened to the good ole' days when a women waited until she skipped a period to wonder if she may be pregnant?

This. Obviously, they can't count from the first week that we all include when discussing 40 weeks of pregnancy.

It's weird she even got a positive test though that soon after conception.
