I didn't realize that having a longer or shorter cycle effects ovulation.. My cycles were normal and regular came like every 30 days when do you ovulate if you have a regular 30 day cycle.. At my 8 week ultrasound my baby measured 7w6d so right in track but I'm due very soon and I have started dilating at 38 weeks but I know you can be dilated for a long time. I'm just curious as to if I should expect to have a later due date...

I guess I'm basically confused because I've been trying to figure out my conception period and why the Dr didn't even ask how long my cycles were just assumed... If I was 7w6d then but she just went ahead and considered me 8 weeks that means I'm one day behind what I thought all along I understand baby will come at anytime but its important to me mainly for the conception part because I read women with longer cycles ovulate later than women with 28 day cycles

At this point, the baby will come when it comes.  Go with your ultrasound at 7 w 6 d if you are trying to figure out the conception date, you won't be able to tell by counting forward from the first day of your last period the way you can from an ultrasound that actually saw the embryo and measured it.
