Longer Cycle Ladies- was your due date accurate?

Question

I've always had 34/35 day cycles. Not sure exactly when I ovulated. According to my doctors and ultrasound baby is measuring right around (plus or minus 1 or 2 days) my EDD based on the standard 28 day calculation but I'm worried that regardless my due date could be way off.

Ladies with longer cycles- do your due dates reflect that? Second time moms, was your baby born before, on, or after she date?

Thanks!

Answer

I normally had 34 day cycles. 1st child 2 weeks late, 2nd 41 weeks 6 days, 3rd 41 weeks 5 days, 4th 40 weeks 1 day and 5th 23 weeks but she probably would have been almost 2 weeks late as well. If you have longer cycles your due date is automatically off.

Answer

My cycle varies from 28 to 65 days. At my first scan baby was measuring small, compared to my last period so I had to go back. Baby was 3 days ahead of the first calculation of size...went back yesterday at 19+4 and baby is exactly the size it should have been. Whatever your dr sets, go with it.

Answer

Mine did not reflect my LMP. I was using OPKs so I knew when I ovulated, but if your baby is measuring with a certain date, I would go with that one. You could just have a longer luteal phase, which mine was shorter.
