Due date confusion

I had my scan yesterday and it showed that I was 12 weeks 4 days - due 11th July.
I’ve always used an app to track my periods/ovulation, sexual activity and as our only method of contraception. It’s worked for 5 years. This pregnancy is unplanned, and from my dates I just can’t work out how on earth im pregnant. My periods have always been regular and between 28-30 days long. Before I conceived I had a very odd, short period of 23 days. Tracking my CM, when I had unprotected sex and with the apps calculator my dates would mean I conceived after I ovulated and 5 days before my next period.
The only thing that does make sense with the due date is that al my children (4) share the 18th date of birth (different months). I’m probably over thinking things and it’s not a massive deal but my middle son was very poorly When he was born and they weren’t sure if he would survive, it was agreed upon by medical professions that he was 3+ weeks late. I think I’m worried about this more than anything. I’d rather have the baby a little early than go through that again. Not sure what I’m rambling for but I’m 100% sure when I ovulated. It would also have meant I got a strong positive 10 days after I conceived on a cheap test strip. Has anyone else experienced this and is the 12 weeks scan the date they stick to when giving an Edd?

The 12 week scan is the date they will go by, no matter what you say to them. I have also seen strong positives at 10dpo, I tested at 13dpo and the pregnancy line was darker than the control line
