So, I was thinking this weekend and had an Epiphany. It was actually one of those "duh" moments. My dr and I did not discuss baby's due date at my first prenatal appt, but I have it pegged, and it's not April 25. Let me explain...
Typically when you calculate your due date online, it automatically assumes you ovulated on cycle day 14... aka mid-cycle... little do they know, we PCOSers don't ovulate on that day. Most healthy women probably don't, actually. We don't all have perfect 28-day cycles either. It's a terrible assumption. So when I made my tickers online, I inputted the date of my last period, and not thinking, assumed it was correct to say April 25 was the due date.
When I went to the dr, it was on a Tuesday... I measued at exactly 8 weeks. According to the not-so-trusty internet, I should have been 8 weeks & 2 days. Wrong. I was measuring right on time based on when I ovulated, not on the date of my last period.
Baby is due April 27, 2010. BAM!

ReplyDeleteBut then again EDD are just estimates, soooo... lol.
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true.
ReplyDeleteMy EDD should have been 5 days later than calculated--just as he always measured up until the 3rd trimester. BUT my OB never changed my EDD from the 28 day cycle...said as long as he's measuring within a week we were cool. Makes me wonder then--the point of it all LOL
