Due Date with Long Cycles?

ButterscotchCupcake · February 2011

Hi y'all. My LMP was 1/5. AF was due 2/8 (35 day cycles). BFP 5 days ago (two days after AF was due) Does the length of my cycle change how far along I am?

Meaning, this Wednesday I am 6 weeks after my LMP. But I'm only one week after my AF was due.

How far along am I??

It can. I have irregular cycles. Typically I can go from 22-35 days. The cycle I got my BFP must have been a 35 day cycle because I was a week behind what my LMP said.

It depends on when you ovulated. Since you weren't charting, no one here can tell you when you ovulated. You'll have to wait until your first ultrasound to get a solid due date prediction.

I was charting. I choose not to share it with the general population. I ovulated on 1/25.

Yes, it does.

We can't really tell you that without knowing exactly when you ovulate. For example, if you ovulate on day 22 and have a 13 day LP, your due date will be different than if you ovulate on day 25 and have a 10 day LP. Know what I mean?

Basically, if you don't know exactly when you ovulate, your best bet is to go in for an US to date the pregnancy.

Good Luck!

If you Od on 1/25, then you're 4w6d pregnant.

Confused

Uh huh.

Thanks, ladies! I'm going to the gyno this afternoon to confirm with them for my first prenatal visit. Very exited.

First baby, no idea what the first visit entails. I was thinking I was closer to 6 weeks so I thought it might entail a little more than a blood test. But maybe that's all I'll get!

Either way, I'm excited!

In that case.... Just pull out a calendar and count backwards from 1/25, assuming that would have been day 14 if you had a 28 day cycle. So, calculate due date based on 1/12 being the first day of your last period. Which would make you 4 w 5 d- ish. Does that make sense?

It does. Thanks so much!

I ovulated on day 35 with my son. I brought my charts, but they kept dating my pregnancy much earlier, unless the u/s matched my chart. They dated my pregnancy at my 10 week u/s.
