Due Date Question (Trigger warning)

[Growing]

I am so very sorry for posting my question in the wrong spot. I have decided to delete it because I didn't want to upset more people. I really feel horrible. I am very sorry.

[mrsjene]

You should try posting on the Pregnancy board. A lot of women here have never been pregnant.

I didn't need this today.

Congrats?

I'm really not sure where to post this question. If this is not the right place, please let me know!

I tracked my temperature, CM, and pretty much everything else that gets tracked in an attempt to get pregnant, and used an OPK. Fortunately, I'm pregnant. I have long cycles so the date of my last menstrual cycle does not help determine my due date. I have two living children and for both of them, I knew when they were due and argued with my doctor about it, but we only disagreed on the due date by about two days -- no big deal. I think things are different this time though. With my first ultrasound for this baby, I was measuring really small, according to the doctor's office. I thought I was right on track. I had another ultrasound today and they thought the baby was measuring large so they sent me to a specialist ultrasound technician to get more accurate measurements. She has said that my due date is about 7 days earlier than I think it is. When you calculate the date of conception from her due date calculation (which she is calculating from the fetus' current measurements), that would mean I conceived several days before my husband and I had sex. I haven't yet gotten a chance to talk to my doctor but knowing him, he'll use the technician's report for the due date. How hard should I push the due date with him? Why this matters is that I am going to have a C-section and delivering at 38+ weeks seems pretty different than delivering at 39+ weeks. What do you all think? Thank you!



P.S. I put a trigger warning in the title because this deals with a conception. If this is unnecessary, please let me know. I figured it was better to be too cautious than not cautious enough.

Yes, try posting this on Pregnancy or your BMB.

I agree with mrsjene Please check out the Pregnancy board. They will be able to better answer this question.

This is definitely not the right place to post this question. This board is for people trying to get pregnant, not people who already are. 

Since you already are pregnant, please post this on the pregnancy board or your BMB.

Lurk MOAR.

I find it really hard to believe that you are tracking temp, CM etc and don't know your due date based on ovulation

I think you should ask your doctor, not a board full of women trying to get pregnant.

But hilarious at the same time.

Your post history shows that you have only ever posted in 3 threads- all of which you created to ask for help with something. You stated in those that you "lurk" a lot and even mentioned lurking May 16 which I'm assuming is your BMB- my advice would be to lurk more, and direct questions like this right to your BMB.

You took the words out of my mouth.

The title you gave this thread should've been enough to know you were posting in the wrong place. Congrats! But post on the pregnancy board.

[joy]

::sigh::

[youdontsay]

Is there a drinking thread tonight?

[nachobutt]

Your screen name is Growing...what are you growing? A set of balls, because you've got a lot of blah coming in here asking non-pregnant women when your pregnant self is due. You're "acting like" a dumb fuck.

I'm so very sorry. I actually have lurked since this site first started. I really feel very terrible. I really am so, so sorry.

Would it be best if I took my question down to not have other people read it? I know in general people don't like deleted posts.

Don't delete your question, just go ahead and move along.

As for an answer, (spoiler for trigger? idfk)

I don't see what the big deal is.  You and your OB/care team will come up with a plan that is right for you when you get to 38+ weeks.  Fretting over a date that could very well change at this early juncture is silly.

You've been quoted, and it's looked down upon to DD.

You've apologized. Expect more flaming. Don't comment anymore. Go to the pregnancy board or your BMB.

ETA: As far as an answer to your question:

If you were temping and tracking everything, I don't see why you're unclear on your EDD? It would be based on your ovulation. This isn't 100% though, my own due date is off by what I thought it would be by 4 days. They are going off of the measurements of the baby. Since implantation times can vary, and such, I would just trust the medical professionals.
