Changing My Due Date

akbrown64

I had my first ultrasound today and everything looked great. Baby is measuring 10 weeks 2 days and my period had me at 9 weeks 2 days. I suspect the baby is big because I used Clomid to get pregnant so I'm pretty sure on my dates. However, they are changing my due date anyway. I'm now an EDD of 8/27/13. I'm hoping it will be ok for me to be on both the August 2013 and this board. I figure you can't have enough support.

Lots of straddlers here!  

Why would Clomid cause a larger baby?

I'm interested as well.  My LB was conceived with help from the Big C and at every weekly US so far, the due date has inched up by a day.  Started at 14Sep13 and is up to 11Sep13.  I thought it was just because the baby is most likely a boy due to timing with IUI being the day of ovulation and growing a little faster in the beginning as opposed to a girl.  Is there any truth to clomid causing bigger babies?  I may re-think my planned med free natural birth experience then!

ETA:  OP, you do know that clomid causes slightly later ovulation than usual, right?  That may explain the 1 week difference in your calculation.  RE doc had hoped I would have ovulated on CD16 based on taking clomid but I was even later on CD17.

I'm pretty sure Clomid doesn't make your baby bigger.  Were you monitored?  If so, you should have a good idea of when you ovulated.

Welcome to the board!

I know that Clomid doesn't lead to bigger babies. I just meant that I didn't even take the Clomid 10 weeks ago. I finished it 8 weeks ago. I guess getting pregnant while taking the clomid might be a possibility, but who knows. And, it doesn't really even matter to me because it's just an estimation.
