How are so many people finding out now but are due so early in Oct?

I’m finding it really confusing how many women with very faint tests are saying they’re due 1-4th October?

I’m due on 4 October but I’ve known now for 2.5 weeks and that was cycle day 28. I also ovulated late around cd 19. I saw the sacs and fetal pole last Tuesday and I’ve had a 3+ on a digital, so I know I was on track for my stage.

So I am just confused how women finding out over 2 weeks later and still clearly very early as tests are faint are being placed with due dates so early in October?

Genuinely intrigued- maybe this is why so many people are disappointed at early scans if these apps are suggesting they’re much further along than they are?

Or maybe I’m missing something 🤔
