How did you "choose" your EDD? - Page 2

Early u/s at 11w 4d, since I had no period between kids and no idea when I conceived. 40w 5d here and still waiting!

With my daughter I had been charting and knew my O date, and that was how I got my EDD, and I actually went into labor on that day.

I wasn't charting but I was keeping track of my periods, and when we DTD each month.

My average cycle was 27.5 days but some were 26 and some were 29 and one was 31 (I was supposed to have it for my wedding but it held off until the next day... which really messed me up and I didn't drink thinking I was preggers!) it really was all over the map.

But my last period started Oct 10 giving me a EDD of July 15. The midwives are going off of July 17th and I'm positive I FELT conceival on october 22 which would be cycle day 13?

So yeah sometime next week I've always felt Monday the 14th would be either the day I go into labour or have the baby (based on my feelings of how my last birth would have naturally progressed) But DH has a ball game that day and a couple friends are out of town so I'm really hoping to make it until the 16th

i'm just going with the date from LMP (which puts me at 7/12), but i Oed on cd17, so i guess my edd would be 3 days later (7/15) since the standard LMP-based EDD assumes O occured on cd14. i kinda figure it isn't a big deal either way. the only way i'd consider any medical intervention, induction, etc. would be if there were an actual problem with the babe or i, not just because i went "past date".

Well the docs used the silly LMP date which isnt right for me since I dont O when those wheels want me to.. so I used the date of conception. My EDD was 3rd of July by my dates or the 29th of June according to the docs..
