When's my due date

Got a BFP Monday 😊😊😊 LMP started 02/02/20 but that was also the start of my miscarriage.

Ovulated last Saturday according to Clearblue digital tests.

When would I be due? Do I calculate from period or conception?

The doctors calculate from last period

overandoverafail · 11/03/2020 19:03

That's what I thought but that would make me 5+3 weeks but positive tests only started to show on Monday and still don't show on the Clearblue digital weeks tests. Have tested a number of times with frer and all still positive and getting darker. But surely if I was over 5 weeks it would show on digital?

My last period was on the 2nd February and I am pregnant too! When did you try the digital test? They are not as sensitive so might not work as accurately if you don't do it first thing in the morning xx

Have you bled at all between the mc and your ovulation? Sorry for your previous loss btw x

I would go from ur ovulation date there are calenders online that can calculate from it. I did this as I ovulated a lot earlier in cycle than most people like cd 7 so I also calculated due date from ovulation. Then at first midwife appointment I told them my lmp was 2 weeks before ovulation so I was dated further along with edd of 18th April as in my area even if dating scan says different date they still use lmp to date pregnancy after dating scan unless it's over 10days out. At dating scan baby measured perfect and showed due date to be 18th April on that so I was right.

It will be from ovulation date, although they will calculate from date of LMP until your dating scan which should be fairly accurate.

For example my LMP was 18/11 which would make due date of 25/8 however my actual due date was 5/9 as I didnt ovulate until day 26 of my cycle.

It's very confusing but there are online calculators which should work if you have a idea of when you ovulated 😊
Congratulations!

Hey @overandoverafail congratulations!

I am also pregnant straight after a miscarriage so at my booking appointment the midwife went from the date the miscarriage started just like they would with a period.

However I also knew my ovulation date and when I went for an early scan the dates matched up with that more.

You will obviously get more of an idea when you have your dating scan. 😊

Sorry for your loss OP, I was in the same position, I didn't have a period after miscarrying before falling pregnant again. I calculated by positive OPK test until my dating scan and just explained why I didn't have an LMP... when I had my booking appointment, they just calculated a made up LMP 2 weeks before my positive OPK, but I'd also had an early scan at 6 weeks anyway, so it was backed up that my dates were correct ☺️ wishing you all the best for the pregnancy!

Other than the miscarriage no bleeding between then and now. Which is why this cycle is slightly longer than normal I think. Ovulation was 28/02/20 according the digital OPK.

38 weeks from conception...

I would give a LMP 2 weeks before you conceived/ovulated then your early scan should be about the correct time to give you the correct date.
