Scan date or LMP

My LMP would put me at 10+4 today - due 6th Feb

My EPU scan would put me at 10+5 - due 5th Feb

My NIPT scan said 11+1 due 2nd Feb (baby was 40.6mm so according to app that is about right) But I know when I ovulated so that wouldn't make me 11+1 Hmm

Dating scan is in a few weeks (when I would have been 12+6 but going by this I would be 13+2) which I assume we take as the gospel dates but until then which one would you stick with? LMP or latest scan?

You go my LMP until dating scan as scans before then aren’t very accurate. X

Personally I go by ovulation date (if you know for certain) but the NHS won't listen to that and take LMP initially (inaccurate as assumes average cycle and ovulation on day 14) then dating scan (also inaccurate as assumes everyone is on 50th percentile which clearly they aren't).

It's literally only a couple of days different either way so it doesn't really matter, but generally your midwife will use your LMP until your actual dating scan.

Ha I know it doesn't @Bambamber but it does to me at this early stage as I am counting the weeks by!
