Do NHS due dates take long cycles into account?

I'm normally around 36 days, last period 13th June, which makes me coming up to 8 weeks pregnant if you count from day of last period.

But when I look online and adjust it for the fact my cycle is long, it says I am coming up to 7 weeks (which is more realistic I know).

Not a biggie, but I've got first MW appointment in a couple of weeks and I just wondered whether they just work from date of last period or if they'll take into account my long cycle?

Thanks

my cycle is 22 days but midwifes have still gone on "normal" 28 day cycle.

just don't accept their 'kind offer' of a dating scan. Cos they will likely work to that regardless of what you say about conception.... [bitter emoticon]

Reasons being that women lie and could have been seeing more than one man, etc

Ended up having to use dates discrepancy argument (of 9 days!) to refuse induction at 42wks scan edd
