January 22 due date, conception question

JH516

Out of curiosity, anyone else around similar due date know their date of conception?  My LMP was April 10 and I've been going off of an estimated conception date of around April 17th (conceived naturally) based on the baby's gestational age from early ultrasounds.  My cycles are avg 35 days.  I was on pregnology.com that said my conception date was probably May 2 based on the due date and it totally threw me off because it doesn't match the baby's gestational age.  Just wondering if anyone else is getting different dates and is totally thrown off.

Not sure this helps but I am due 1/12 and I am about 99.9% sure my conceptoin date was April 20th.

P.S. 1/22 is my birthday and it is fantastic. :-)

I think pregnology is correct b/c I am due 1/30 and I know my dates are pretty set considering it is the only time we had sex that month and I got positive opks.  We had sex May 7th and 8th and the doc is putting my o date at the 9th which is 7 days after your pregnology date...hth

I know my date of conception because I charted my cycles and kept track of when we had sex.

Remember that your baby's gestational age factors in the 2 weeks before you ovulate/conceive aka for the 1st 2 weeks of pregnancy (of a textbook, 28 day cycle) you aren't pregnant at all but your body is gearing up to ovulate.

Here's the run down on my chart:
I started my last cycle on March 26th
Ovulated on cycle day 20 (April 14th)
Based on the days we had sex, I conceived this little one on CD 23 (April 17)

But if I went off my LMP, I'd my baby's "due date" would be a week ahead and she would be measuring a week behind but because I charted and knew when I O'd and the days of possible conception, I am able to better pin-point her conception date and get the most accurate "due date"...I like to consider it more of a guess date though because she's going to come when she's ready.

Hi!

I'm also due Jan 22 and am 99.9% sure of my dates. My LMP was April 17th and I had 28-30 day cycles. My conception date was May 1st. Baby has been measuring exactly on schedule at all of the appointments (although I know this part isn't really an indicator as babies can measure ahead, behind, spot on at various times). But, I am sure of my LMP and my conception date.

ETA: clarify

My EDD is 1/19, and my LMP was 4/14. I was charting so I know I ovulated on 4/28. People ovulate at all different times and have all different cycle lengths, but ovulating 7 days after your LMP would be pretty early. The May 2nd date sounds more likely.

I'm due 1/20 (according to early u/s dating at 6wk and 12wks).  I'm pretty positive we conceived on 4/27 because I was on Clomid and we had to time it perfectly.  Not sure if that helps.

I'm not sure what to say.  My due date is 2 days after you, but I didn't get my period until 4/19 and my cycles were about 28-31 days.  I think conception date was around 5/4 or so.

My EDD is Jan 22, my lmp was april 17, from my chart I can see I ovulated on the 2nd of May. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php?d=2011-04-17

ummm i don't follow all the conceiving terms but i can say for certain....

that my last period started April 17th
we only had sex from April 26th-May1st
before my positive test on May 15th
Aaaaaand i only wrote down that he "finished inside" on April 27th
but it was all unprotected

Calculator I initially used said this was a due date of the 22nd but at my first ultrasound he was measuring at the 20th which is what my doc has kept.
Since then he's measured at the 24th (18 weeks) and 27th (23 weeks). His growth pattern is all over so I am just sticking with the 20th and we'll see what happens!

I'm due the 22nd... my LMP was March 29- but after stopping BC in November I didn't have a normal cycle (one month would be 50 days, the next 40 days, the next 32 days and the next was 41 days). I used ovulation test strips and DTD when I got the dark line- April 15th and 17th. Got my bfp May 14th.

Your dates sound off to me. I am due January 22nd and my LMP start date was April 17th. My conception date was around May 1st give or take a couple of days either direction.  But if your cycles are usually 35 days, this may be why. Mine are usually 28-30 days apart.

Conception date may 3 or 4 and due day Jan 25. I know for certain because for one reason or another, we only had sex those 2 times during that cycle. Sad sad sad...

My LMP was April 10, and I was using ovulation tests which put my ovulation date at April 22.  Due date is Jan 12.  I got a positive on May 3 so that makes sense too.

My due date is Jan 21st and my conception date was April 30th. That was day 13 of my cycle. I know for a fact because I had my IUI that day and I ovulated that same day. Hope this helps!

My due date is also January 22 and I'm 99% sure on the conception date, which was April 24.  My cycles were also typically 32-34 days.  Based on Fertility Frined, my ovulation was April 25.  HTH!

I'm due 1/23 based on conception date - which I'm fairly confident of because I was charting.  I ovulated 5/2.

You have to remember that the first two weeks of your pregnancy happens before you were pregnant, so you don't sound that far off of the pregnology date (4/17 + 2 weeks).

Thanks Ladies.  I'm still a bit confused because my very first ultrasound on 6/3 measured the baby at 6w6d which makes the May 2 conception date off.  If I count back, that means on May 6, the baby was already measuring 2w6d.  Do I subtract 2 weeks from baby's gestational age to take into consideration the 1st 2 weeks I'm not actually pregnant?  OR is the baby's gestational age the most accurate?

I am due on 1/27 and that is based on an ovulation date of 5/6 (I get crazy o-pains and am very consistent) but my LMP would have given an earlier due date since I tend to have longer than 28-day cycles.

all my dating ultrasounds have agreed with the gestational age based on my ovulation day being 5/6. The A/S said two days ahead but that's common.

Based on 1/22 EDD I would say a 5/2 ovulation/conception sounds reasonable. You probably just didn't o when you thought you did. But you might want to be ready a week early just in case!
