Does your due date always go off of your last period?

Question

According to my last period I’d be 8 weeks along. (Last period may 26th). 
However I didn’t test positive until 10 days ago. 
Is this normal? I have a doc appt tomorrow, would they adjust this?

Answer

They will go by your lmp until you have an ultrasound then they go by whatever the baby measures to.

Answer

So if i was to go off my last period i would be 9W 2D. But im currently 8 weeks today. I had bad cramping so they had me get and ultrasound to see if baby was in my tubes. And baby measured a weeks and two days behind. They said i must of ovulated late.

Answer

I don’t have periods and I picked a random day to start my letrozole. So since I was tracking ovulation, I’m going by conception day

Answer

Yes LMP is what they go by

Answer

You go by LMP unless your first ultrasound says otherwise.

Answer

At first, yes. But your first ultrasound will give them a better idea of how far along you actually are, so when you have your dating scan, they’ll go based off of that. I have very unpredictable cycles, and would be 3 weeks further ahead than I currently am if they were going off of LMP. Currently 30 weeks pregnant, and baby is following that growth curve for being 30 weeks.
