May Emeralds 2014! :)

[ShanandBoc]

Nope we arent finding out this time, we did with DD and really want that surprise at birth with #2

 

[ece77]

Welcome all the new ladies!

Sorry for those who started with MS. Boo

Leah - What an exciting but tiresome time it must be for you! Please try to rest as much as you can in between things. My doc said, "you should rest when you feel pain in your groins".

We haven't talked with DH, but since I'm not good with waiting, I guess at least I'll be finding out the sex . Like Mimi, I'd also want to add some girl/boy accents to the room.

And shhhh, apart from me, dh and a very close friend, only the bnb ladies know that we're expecting

There is one thing confusing me. My cycles are about a week longer than the average 28 days - so about 33-35 days. Does this mean when I go for a scan I may be dated a week behind what I think I am? Because if I ovulated a week later than a normal cycle, then my baby will be a weeks growth behind wouldn't it?

 

[Lilly12]

Do you know when you ovulated?

 

[teacup]

Do you know when you ovulated?

I used opks and had a surge on cycle day 17, so I must have ovulated between cycle days 18 - 20. (August 25th - 27th)

 

[bumpin2012]

Teacup, I'd let your ob know, especially if you know when you ovulated. your ob May wish to change your due date, because a week is a big deal, when deciding if induction is necessary. since I know, my due date is calculated from my ovulation.

 

[Lilly12]

Yes let them calculate due date by ovulation.
Let them know when you had your + opk!
They might calculate from the last day you had a + opk.

 

[Mimi85]

I agree with bumpin,

I have a 29 day cycle but ovulated late on CD18. I will for sure mention this during 1st appointment to make sure about dating.

 

[HannahGraceee]

I really don't what dates to go by either.. I know when Ovulated but am going by my last day of last period.. My cycles normally 28 days but I added 6 days as I was late the month before (we were ttc) I got my bfp at 8dpo by the dates I'm using at the moment :/ what would you use?

 

[Excalibur]

They do tell you to go from the first day of your last period.

 

[HannahGraceee]

But should I subtract the 6 days I added on for that month? When I'm normally regular? So confusing

 

[Lilly12]

They either go by your ovulation (day you conceived) date or the FIRST day of your last period.

Here's a due date calculator.

https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy-due-date-calculator

(if you go from the first day of last period, that'd be counted as day 1 of your pregnancy, if you go by ovulation day that'd be counted as 2 weeks pregnant, so first day of last period would only be correct if you'd ovulate on day 15 in a month with 30 days)

Nope, lines getting darker though and AF is due Friday.
You? When's your AF due?

 

[teacup]

This due date calculator on the NHS website is the most accurate one I can find, it uses your average cycle length aswell as first day of last period.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/due-date-calculator.aspx

The baby center one says I'm due May 15th, but the NHS one says I'm due May 19th (which makes more sense since I ovulated 4 days later than an average cycle).
