I'm interested in this especially for my ticker and when I read my Pregnancy Book. My doctor says a couple days don't matter but whatever

Re: CP: What due date do you go by?
I tried this, and brought my chart, but my fave NP wouldn't go by that. BUT if we had gone by that date I would not have been 10 weeks at my appt today and they would not have tried the doppler, so it's a blessing in disguise for now.
I go by the date my doctor has (based on my IUI date, and the way the baby was measuring at my first ultrasound).
A cautionary tale: With my DS, my first u/s gave me a due date a full week after the due date I'd given myself (based on when I ovulated). I counted based on my due date, and my doctor's office counted based on theirs. There were constant "arguments" (not really arguments, since I followed their schedule - but it annoyed the crap out of me) about when to do tests, and what milestones I should be hitting, and the biggest was when we came to talking about induction (I thought I was far more overdue than they did, I was worried, they weren't, etc.). In retrospect, I was being stubborn and annoying about a weeks difference, and it would have made life a lot less complicated to just go with the due date they gave me.

Very cute
I want them to keep my date later bc I also do not want to be induced when I am not really late. I guess we will see what the u/s says, since that seems to be the ultimate deciding factor.
According to FF and LMP and O, my EDD is 8/8.
My 6w 4d u/s says 8/9.
For my head, I go by 8/8. When I talk to a Dr or something, I say 8/9.

The due date FF and my own charting gave me was July 9th... but the due date I got by u/s at 9 weeks ish is July 15th, a week later.. so I go by that one.
I dont really know too much about the accuracy of ultrasounds, and how much embryos vary in size but I know personally I'm going to be itching to have my LO closer to the 9th, since I believe that to be more accurate.
My doctor and I decided on a due date together. According to my LMP, my due date would have been June 12th. According to my FF O date, which I told my doctor, my due date would have been June 19th. My first u/s put me at June 17th, and my second u/s put me at June 12th again. Given all this information, my doctor and I decided to go with somewhere in the middle- June 14th. She promised me that she won't change it again on me no matter what other u/s say from here on out, so that's where we are.
BFP #1 - m/c on 12.22.09 @ 8w3d
BFP #2 - d&c on 07.22.10 @11w1d
BFP #3 - DS born on 06.22.11 @41w3d!
BFP #4 - Due 04.24.13
I think mine is actually combination of all the options : )
Based on my LMP, my due date should be 2/20/11. Based on FF, my due date should be 2/16/11. Based on NUMEROUS ultrasounds throughout the pregnancy, my due date is 2/17/11.
After all of that, I decided to stick with 2/17/11 b/c I felt like the ultrasound was probably the most accurate and my doctor's office seems to agree : )

Yup.
My LMP puts my due date at 5/2. I don't chart and have no idea when I ovulated (I atually didn't even think I o'd this cycle...). The 6 week u/s put me at 5/8 which is the due date I've been using. I just found out my doctor has been using my LMP as my due date though. (And since the 6 w u/s I've consistently measured 4 days ahead.)
I keep thinking I should start using the doctor's due date and move myself up a week mentally, but for some reason I just haven't been able to process it emotionally.
