hi, im a little confused my due date is 20th november acording to the scans but my lmp was 7 february and not the 14th? so my due date goin by that would be 14th november. had 3 scans and they all messured a week behind me, i was on the contraceptive pill when i concieved so not sure if this has anything to do with it? do they messure from lmp or date of implantation? i hope my dates are right and they are wrong. any1 else experiance this? or have any advice? thanks very much

But you still might go earlier than the 20th; if you're not already packed, I'd pack right now!

They have no idea WHEN from your last period you got pregnant so that could be an entire month difference (though it isnt usually that bad haha). But with the earliest scan they can see exactly where baby is in development.

adkinsrus07 - 825 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Um Im not certain how it works but maybe this will help if you know about all that stuff lol. I know that the first day of LMP was in the last week of Feb. I know we concieved Mid March. On the 24th of March we got 2 negs. But a few days later we got tons of positives. I am always like 28 days clockwork period. My EDD has fluctuated from the 28th-Dec 3rd. Hope that helps a little bit.

Also this may help- baby has been measuring atleast a week behind via fundal and u/s ever since. Also my due date with my son was Dec 12th in 2007 and we know that at that time me conceived the last week of March in 2007.

nutnut - 825 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) with my daughter i was due july 4th. according to when i ovulated (i know bc i was ttc and testing my ovulation to time conception) i was due july 12th. the dr. still stood by july 4th, and induced me july 10th. they can be off a week bc its nature and women dont always ovulated on cd 14. i dont i ovulated closer to cd 20-22 and get my period 10 days later. =)) its normal =)

mikeysmommyof2 - 825 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) this is normal. with this one AND my 1st son, my due date by the scan was 6 days later than the due date by LMP. its because not everyone ovulates right at the 14day mark of their cycle therefor they go off the scan. Seems like you are like me and ovulate a week later.
