Please help I’m so confused ... not really sure how far along I am as I have multiple apps telling totally different things!

First day of last period 03/08
Ovulated 20/08

Honestly feel so daft needing to ask this! Does anyone know what week this would make me according to the NHS?

It's done off the first day of your last period Smile

You’ll be due 12th May I think! I used the nhs website, first day of my last period was second of August. Our dates are so close!!

Your last period was 4 days ahead of mine, and I'm currently 6w+3 so I make you 7w today? :) congrats xx

Cafeaulait and DontFadeAway, congratulation to you both. That’s mad that we’re all so close!

Are you getting many symptoms yet? Sore boobs seems to be my only one so far - dreading the morning sickness kicking in!

You ovulated a bit later in your cycle, if you had gone on to have a period it would have been a 32 day cycle (18 days pre-ovulatory, 14 days post-ovulatory). As it's not the "standard" 28 day cycle that all the standard calculations use, you'll actually be a bit less than 7 weeks, you'll be due 14th May and are currently 6 weeks 3 days pregnant.

Midwife will use first day of last period, they use this date until 12 week scan, then they’ll recalculate your date. I ovulated day 20 and was put back 6 days.
Doesn’t really matter that much anyway, I’m fully aware my due period is anytime between now (36 weeks) and 42 weeks 😂

So close! My main symptoms so far have been tiredness, but yesterday was like something switched and the nausea won't go away now 😭 I woke up feeling sick and have done most of the day, I can only stomach dry carbs like toast, and the thought of certain things (scrambled egg which I normally love) makes me want to puke! I haven't actually been sick, but I feel pretty close to it.

Hope you're all well xx

@PlanBea that’s exactly what my Natural Cycles app says too! Very impressed you can work that out, I was just getting lots of different numbers when I tried 😂

@DontFadeAway sorry to hear the nausea kicked in, Is this your first?

@HotDiggidy2017 everything assumes a 28 day cycle which is "average" but can mean your dates can be out by a week or so either way. Particularly if you get an early scan it can be worrying if you think it should be 6 weeks and it's 5 (not much is visible at 5) - leads to lots of worry!

The midwives will likely use your last period until your dating scan anyway, but if you know you're a few days behind where the standard calculation says there isn't a panic when they measure you "smaller"!

Google search pregnancy due date calculator, try them all! I like calculator.net version as there are more variables you play with.
