According to this App, I am 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant, but my doctor says I'm in the 10th week. How is this possible?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

Pregnancy calculations can vary due to different methods used by apps and doctors. Apps generally calculate from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), while doctors may use ultrasound measurements. Ultrasound is more accurate for determining gestational age, as it measures the size of the baby. It's possible that your app is not accounting for these factors or using a different calculation method. To ensure accuracy, rely on your doctor's assessment and discuss any discrepancies with them.

The app calculates the due date based on your missed period. But doctors determines the due date based on fetus size from ultrasound. 

In this app , go to settings and enter the due date and tick " calculate based on due date". It'll update.
