Due date and LMP.....confused

My last period was Feb. 8. I was charting and i know my ovulation date. Based on my LMP date my due date is November 15. This is the due date the doctor gave me. At the ultrasound the baby measured one day ahead for Nov 14 but I was told my DD would stay 11/15. Today I had to go to the doctor for a 12 week apt. Every tuesday (according to calendars and apps) I change weeks. Today is 12 weeks. She told me at 11 weeks its too early to hear the heartbeat. I told her I was 12 weeks today. She looked and said I was 11w4d which I told her wasn't right. She went ahead and tried the doppler. We found the heartbeat at 162bpm. When we were leaving her nurse asked her if I was 11w4d or 12 weeks. She told her that I was using the wheel to get my dates but am I not correct. Every website I have put in says I'm 12 weeks today. What could she be using?

  • My LMP was also on Feb. 8th. I am 12 weeks today. Confirmed again today at my appointment.

    I'm not sure why they are having a hard time figuring it out. Frustrating for you!

  • Not her brain! I'd stay with your dates no matter what she says unless an u/s confirms your dates are wrong. One thing to keep in mind: babies grow at slightly different rates, so your baby may be a little behind when checked one week, then catch up by your next appt. GL, and I'm glad you got to hear the HB.

    P.S. I was 10w1d when my doctor found my LO's heart beat with a doppler.

    Thanks! The only reason DH went today was because I thought for sure we'd hear the HB! I'm glad I insisted...it was just supposed to be a 5 minute check in!

  • My LMP was Feb 7, I have an irregular cycle, but tracked my ovulation and know I should be due 11/15.

    After u/s, Dr told me I was wrong, and 11/24 is my due date. I believe for the moment, but I'm skeptical. 

    According to my LMP I should be almost 12w5d, according to my ovulation I should be almost 11w5d, but according to my doc, I'm 10w5d. Go figure.

  • I am confused to... I didn't have a period after I stopped bc so we had an early u/s to determine how far along we were. The according to the dr I should be 10w 2d but with the dd she gave me the bump has me at 11w 5d.

    I thought measurements with a sono were the most accurate...

    My LMP was 2/5.  However, I have longer cycles (around 34-36 days).  I'm 97% positive of the date of conception (2/26).  At my 1st OB appointment, I told the doctor all of that info and she changed me from 10w to 9w.  I was lucky enough to have an ultrasound then, and got to see and hear the heartbeat, as well as the little gummi bear dancing around. 

     

     

    I'm SO ready to be done with the 1st trimester!!!!!

     
  • She is using the measurements she had before.  Your dates will keep changing throughout your pregnancy.  LMP is the most unreliable way of determining due date-it does not account for ovulation, late implantation, etc.
