Hi
I think I have understood your concern.
Pregnancy dates are calculated from the first day of last menstrual periods.
Calculate the present date from your last period's first day, and divide the number of days by 7 to get dates in terms of weeks of pregnancy.
The possibilities of twins or wrong dates will get cleared by USG .
There is no role of inflammation once you are pregnant.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
