last period or day we concieved?

Hi

 Pretty new here, just found out after a long time of trying we're pregnant! Couldnt be more excited! I was using a chart from my obgyn to track my cycle, ovulation even days we had sex. Therefore we know the date of last cycle and the 2 possible days we concieved, when I plug them into pregnancy calculators they both give different due dates a week apart. How do I know which to trust? Our first appt with obgyn isn't until march 28th, Im sure they will have a good idea of when we are due but I'm curious what you all have used to figure it out?

One other question, how do I get the ticker to show on my posts or profile?

Thanks!!

I used the ovulation day as I knew it from charting and it gave me an EDD of about two weeks later than LMP would.  I had a dating u/s and it showed that I'd conceived based on the ovulation date and not the LMP date.  If you know your actual ovulation date, it's actually more accurate than going by your LMP.

Where were the possible conception dates in relation to your ovulation?  The best chances of conception are right before ovulation, and the due date according to ovulation is going to be more accurate than according to last menstrual period.

Until you get confirmation to get the tickers and such just go by your last mestrual period. I think it'd be easier.

Once you have the ultrasound they can measure the baby and see exactly how far along you are.

 

Go to your bump, settings, avatar & signature, and place the html link of the ticker you made onto the space provided. it should show up.

thanks for your replies! My first appt is in a few weeks, guess that may help figure it out but for now I'm just guessing by ovulation/conception date, its so early I guess its not a huge deal to know now but Im just anxious lol
