Confusing due date

Post by miracleshappen »

Hello. My u/s said that I was 6 weeks and one day this Monday, 9/26. That would have put my lmp at 8/14. However, my last LMP was actually 8/6 w/ an ovulation date of 8/23. I have been paying close attention to my cycles through my moniter and ultrasounds so I know when I ovulated. Which date is better to go off of?

Why not try this board's pregnancy calculator? bottom of the screen on the left hand side in 'Resources'. It's developed with various assisted/tmt related features.

I have seen the calculators and know my due date is either May 13 or somewhere around the 22nd. My question is which date is more reliable? Should I go from my LMP or what the u/s says? Thanks for your help. I know the due date is never right but I will be planning a C-section so it might be closer than I think.
