Due date confusion

[1Plus2]

I am so confused about my edd. One website (based on a 28 day cycle) gives me 3/16. A book I saw at the bookstore this weekend said 3/17 and I just called my OB's office and they said 3/18. Huh?! My last AF started on 6/10. I don't know when I o'd since I was on the pill. Any insight?

Based on your lmp it should be 3/16. That is from the fertilityfriend website, and a few others with dd calculators. It would be nice to share that day with you! :D

3/16 is my edd too, so why don't you pick that one as the one you think about? It doesn't matter in the end at all, anyway!

Jilly - great to see you here. :) I'm definitely hoping the others from the 12+ month ttc thread make it to the ddc soon.

I think I'll go with the 16th too. My weeks will change on Sunday's and that just makes it easier. :)

I just can't believe we are sharing this online adventure too!

My due date was a little confusing myself.....it might be March 1st, 2nd, 3rd. My MW made an excellent point that when you aren't sure and calendars are giving you different dates that it's best to go with the LATEST due date "officially". That way if you were to go over and start pressing the 42 week mark, you don't have as much pressure to deliver. Here in Alaska the MW's are only able to deliver up until 42 weeks, and then you have to go to the hospital. So, I'm grateful to keep my March 3rd date. If I'm early, even better!!

My LMP was also 6/10, I O'd on 6/24, and my EDD is solidly 3/16. We're DD buddies!

(Oh, but PS--ITA: go with the latest date! Rather be "early" than "late"...)

They seldom come on their EDD so just pick one!

I like to pad my edd as well. I either O'd on the 15th or 16th, so I'm going with the 16th :)

I've been telling the few people who know - sometime between leap year and spring break!

I'd pick the latest one, that way there's less pressure if you go postdates. Your care provider may have a particular way of calculating it too, and if so, it would be good to make sure it's in line with your own calculations so you are on the same page...a few days can make a difference when you're anxious at the end, so I think later's better (based on my 1 X experience :) )
