Not sure on due date

Hi ladies. Was wondering what date you'd all go with. I usually have a 29 day cycle so my tracking app says I ovulate on day 16 (first month trying for baby no. 2 so I wasn't using OPKs or anything yet). OH and I dtd on days 8 and 10 and then he was too tired Hmm so I thought we'd missed our window but actually I am pg Grin. Not sure whether to assume his little swimmers went the distance or maybe I ovulated early?? What would you all think? TIA

Congratulations! Nobody can say really without other indicators. Do you remember having EWCM? Have you ever used OPKs before and what did they say about your usual ovulation day?

I always had 32/33 day cycles and it turned out once I started using OPKs that I wasn't ovulating until around day 22. If I'd have relied on the app telling me to focus on around day 12-18 then I'd have struggled!

I honestly wouldn't worry, pregnancies last 37-42 weeks so 2 days either side on your dates is of no consequence. Congratulations

Thanks ladies. I'm just wishing days away to reduce my mc risk a bit, silly I know!

I think my ovulation timing is a bit random, with dd1 I'm fairly sure I ovulated late. I did feel horny early in the cycle (hence dtd Grin) but we were on holiday so I put it down to that.

The early days are hard; I had two MCs followed by two healthy pregnancies so I get it. No symptoms either so all I could do was wait for the scan and keep my fingers crossed. It feels like a decade!

It really doesn’t matter and impossible to guess! You’ll get an estimated due date at your 12 week scan. Congratulations Smile

Thanks @BlusteryShowers it really does! I've got a private scan booked for 8 weeks (or 8 weeks plus a few days, depending!) so got everything crossed for that x (I'm six weeks tomorrow by LMP date)
