Due date confusion!

Hello everyone! I'm being a bit silly and can't figure out how pregnant I am 😂the apps are saying 6 weeks based on LMP (16th june). I ovulated a little later though on 1st July which was a couple of days later than my app predicted. Does this mean I'm actually not quite 6 weeks pregnant yet? Sorry if this is a really dim question, I'm not great with maths 😆

If you search for a conception calculator based on ovulation date it'll give you another date. Your date will likely change once you have a scan (based on baby's size). Mine changed 3 times with scans!

I got confused with the pregnancy calculations too especially seeing as I knew when I conceived (well roughly, seeing as fertilisation could have occurred later then TTC) but the due date I had calculated from my last period was different impaired to a 9week emergency scan which was diffferent again at my 12week scan. The drs will always go with the due date from measurements of the baby taken at your 12weeks scan though as apparently it’s the most accurate.

I had 3 different dates. First based on lmp was 22nd, 2nd from my early scan was 25th and 3rd from 12 week scan was 29th. I did ovulate late like you too so basing it lmp was inaccurate for me. You will probabaly find at your 12 week scan you will be a little less along that your calculations based on lmp.

Ironically my little lady arrived on the 25th just like my early scan calculated

Thanks everyone! I think I'm 3 days behind my lmp date, so I'll stick with that when booking an early scan. Thanks!
