Which do you go by when saying how far along you are?

Question

Hi all! According to the glow app, I am 9w1d. Based on an ultrasound 2 weeks ago, today I should have been 8w6d. I went today for another ultrasound and baby was now measuring 9w3d. Which of these should I go by for knowing when I enter a new week? *Sorry if this was confusing!

Answer

Your doctor should have a due date for you. I would just ask. Usually they go off your period. Where I am from anyway lol

Answer

Haha in the end it's all guessing anyways lol nobody knows the real date it seems😂😭

Answer

Whatever your doctor is telling you that you are.

Answer

They are all close so in the end doesn’t really matter.  Generally goes by first dating scan of they are in conflict though.

Answer

I went by my lmp date until I had my 12 week growth scan and now go by that date! 
So original glow says I’m 26 weeks today but by my ‘due date’ I’m 25 weeks + 5
It’s only an estimate and can change depending on the baby’s growth rate anyway 👍🏻

Answer

None of my dates matched either. I ovulated on cd21, so I should be measuring behind. My abdominal ultrasound matched my ovulation date (by a day or two), but my transvaginal one matched my lmp, which makes NO sense, bc I ovulated late. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ anyway, I gave up, and I’m just going by my lmp.
