Due date question

[mmgarda]

Ok, I'm TOTALLY confused. If I literally look at the calendar and count 38 weeks from my estimated ovulation/conception, I come up with an EDD of 7/9. However, if I use one of those online calculators, I get an EDD of 6/16. What am I doing wrong? And the online calculator says if I had my period on Sept. 2, I probably o'd around Sept. 23rd. So how the hell could I have gotten pregnant, considering I was sick as a dog and we only GIO the 14th-18th.

You would think I would already know this, considering it's my second go 'round. . .

So the question is, WHEN is this baby most likely to arrive? Mid-June or early July??

Ok, so iVillage says June 16. Baby Center says June 9. According to my calendar, 38 weeks from Sept. 16 is July 9.

AAACCCKKKK!

I'm already going hormonal crazy.

I O'ed on Sept 14th, and my EDD is 6/7/05. Are you skipping a month when you're counting weeks on your calendar? If your O-date is Sept 16th, then your EDD should be 6/9/05. Sorry everything is so confusing. Last week, I was having major trouble figuring out how many weeks I am.

I already have it in spades. I think I'm either skipping a month, or ( ) totally not catching "JUN" as opposed to "JUL". Duh.

Well, we're glad you're here and not all by yourself in July!

Me too!

Thanks!

As for how you got pregnant -- sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days (some say 8 days) so if you GIO on the 18th and Oed on the 23rd that is 5 days so its totally possible (obviously ).

Anyway -- welcome!
