Information please for a poor bloody man

[Andrewofgg]

DW’s niece is getting married on 17 September. For reasons I need not go into, her family are certain that (1) she is without previous sexual experience with her intended or anybody else (2) she will TTC at once (3) the date has been chosen to be the best point of her cycle. We are all (the women as much as the men) joking among ourselves about when to expect the First Instalment of what may be a big family.

So can anyone please tell me: if she hits the button that very night what would be the likely due date? I know of course that due dates mean very little, but I would be amused to know.

Thanks – and good luck to you all. My DS is nearly thirty but I know how your anxious OHs feel while they are waiting for the good news – been there, done that, used to have the sicked-on T-shirts!

Round about 1 July, if it's a 40 week pregnancy. But no guarantees, of course! :)

Thank you OldLady - very grateful!

What an odd way to choose your wedding date

Well I'm glad all the family are keeping themselves informed. Maybe they could video it for you all too.

One of the strangest posts I've ever read.

You all are actually discussing this? Isn't that a bit weird?

Do you have a sweepstake going?

Fattyfattyyumyum she's an odd young woman.

ivoryblankets Only in a light-hearted and amused way. We all wish her well.

Keep us posted!

Omg, the most bizarre post ever! E

So what if the stress in the lead up to the wedding delays her cycle, it did mine....will they postpone the wedding?!

Actually, thinking about it a bit more, they date 40 weeks from last period. If she has a regualar 4 week cycle, that would put her due date more mid June.

But as I said originally, no guarantees.

No Aprilray they are odd bit not quite as odd as that!

At wowser! This is so beyond weird I actually believe it's real

Weirdos!

It is real, and we won't be pissed off if she does not have DCs at all.

As for stress, she is serene and calm . . . everyone within a mile of her is stressed out but she is serene and calm.

Why is everyone stressed?

Because bless her heart she causes stress in others. She is high maintenance in terms of worry. Meanwhile her sister is due at the end of this month and just gets on with it . . . You all know both types!

You get a humpy face for telling me what i 'know'. As bad as those awful ads.

Maybe if other people didnt concern themselves so much in bride-to-be's life (her fucking menstrual cycle FCOL!) then they'd find themselves less stressed?

STOP She has been announcing it from the bloody rooftops - like I say she is a funny type. So of course her rellies are nattering about it.

DW's family are close, loving, supportive and child-friendly, and we all love her and her sister, and that includes me, and I've known them all their lives. But I can see what an unusual type the engaged one is!

But why are you trying to work out the possible due date?

Have you all got a sweepstakes going?

Gosh! Well, just, erm gosh! What an odd thing to do. She must have a very regular cycle to be able to pinpoint her maximum fertility date with such certainty!

If I were you, and you are indeed putting in for a sweepstake, I'd go for around the year mark. OldLady has given you the correct area for a 40w gestation, starting from her last menstrual period (which we can assume is ~3rd September, I suppose?) - but I think it will be around a year going off my parents' experience!

Um. I can't imagine letting that sort of info out about my wedding, everyone will be sitting smirking worse than usual! They're not having the ceremonial checking of the sheets and everything as well, are they? To prove her virginal status?

This is one of the most bizarre threads I have ever read on MN. And that is a pretty high bar.

Well.

You'll have to come back in a year now and tell us the outcome, you know.

Ok so for reasons that you need not go into actually means DN has been shouting from the rooftops (in a serene and calm manner) that she is a virgin who will be TTC on her wedding night and that the date was chosen (when was it chosen?) to be right when she is ovulating?

Okaaaay then.

Again. Weirdos!
