Trying to work out my due date!

[Amy_louise]

Hi all

I am trying to work out my due date .. mostly using the online calculators to be honest but I am completely unsure at the moment.

I had been monitoring my periods for the last 7 months and they would arrive either the 21st day after, the 24th day or the 26th .. the 26th only happened once but I do not know how many days I should realistically out between

I want to join one of the groups but currently I am on the cusp of July and August too and not sure I can post on both

I seemed to ovulate quite early when I fell pregnant and I got my bfp on the 21st day after my the start of my last period so would the 21 day be what I would need to put on the online calculators?

I am not yet able to see the midwife as they have told me to book when I am 8 or 9 weeks

So thought I would see if any of yous had more of an idea

When was the first day of your last period?

You calculate from the first day of your last period, regardless if your cyles are regularly or not. Then when you go for your 12 week scan they will tell you your due date .

Use an online calculator that includes cycle length to give you a rough idea. First day of your last period. If you have longer periods you may not be as far as you think. For example mine are usually 34 days ish so a standard 28 day calculator puts me further than I am. It's all a gestimate until the scan

Also I'm in the July forum and we won't care if you end up jumping to august or back halfway through and neither will they hun X

Okay . Thank you .. i have tried a few online calculators but all are different and as my periods can be anywhere between 21-26 days i had no idea which to use. I will wait for the midwife to tell me

Just use any with cycle length and average it at 23/24 to get a rough estimate. Midwife will just do the same for a rough estimate until your scan if your cycles are always differentx

What Shanivy said. Midwife will tell you the exact same thing x
