Which Due Date Would You Go By?

kauai04 · June 2009

FF says my due date is 1/18/10 based on the fact that it shows I ovulated on day 24. I told my doctor about this today & she asked how long most of my periods were and I said, it depended (I was only off BCP a few months) anywhere from 29-35 days. She then said it "didn't make sense that I would ovulate on day 24 and get my period so soon because most people get their period 14 days after ovulation". Everything I have read says it depends and many people get their period 10 days after. This was what happened to me- my LP wasn't really long and I would get AF 10 days after FF showed I ovulated. So, she puts my EDD at 1/9/10.... I won't have an ultrasound until 18-20 weeks.

I know that is only a week and a half different but as far as telling other people, reading, ticker, etc. what would you go with FF's EDD or the one the doctor is going by?

Ticker just for you. I would just give a range for dates when people ask. I say betwen 1/10 and 1/15 for me because of what I think and what the doctor thinks. Good luck!

If you are sure that is the day you ovulated, I'd go with that.

I had my first u/s this morning and it matches exactly based on O date but would've been a week off if we were going by LMP

I would go by the date you think is correct. The Dr. thinks I'm due 3/1/10, but I don't have a 28 day cycle so I'm really due 3/4/10.?

I'd tell people I was due in mid-January.

GRKaters:

I'd tell people I was due in mid-January.

That is what I have said so far to the people we have told.

Go by your date.

I would announce the later date. When it comes time, it will be less stressful to go early than late

I'm telling people based on my O date. As of today, my LMP date would put me at 8w2d, my O date puts me at 7w3d and the u/s today puts me at 7w5d. I'd rather be measuring ahead than behind! If I hadn't been charting, and was measuring 4 days behind my EDD, I'd start to freak about the baby being small and something being wrong.

Use your date. In all likelihood, once they finally do an ultrasound, the doc's date will match yours a lot closer.

Since there's some confusion, maybe you could request a dating ultrasound?
