Hi, we have had our BFP last weekend but not sure how to figure out our due date as I've not had a period! We came off the pill on 13 March and have fallen straight away...any ideas how I would work it out?? Thanks Smile

Ring the midwife when you self refer, they may use the date you came off the pill as equivalent off the first day of last period but the 12 week scan changes you date anyway.

Try to not get too hung up on your due date. Most people don’t agree with their due date. I had two early scans which both said the same later date but the NHS will go on the 12 week scan alone. I also know people who had IVF and knew the exact date and time and disagreed with the date. UK says due date is 40 weeks, some countries say 41 weeks. A full term baby is born between 37 to 42 weeks.
