Question about conception!

So, I for sure remember the day I got my period which started on August 24, 2013 and only lasted 4 days as my boyfriend came back from seeing his daughter on the 28th. We had sex all the following week from the day he came home until that weekend. My cycles are very regular and I have never had a problem with anything. My first son came right on time and I was completely accurate with my LMP due date. I never had a early ultrasound with him either so they never had this prediction of his due date off of that. With this second baby my OB keeps insisting that my baby is due on June 7th when he's supposed to be due on May 31st. That's a whole week off. She's relying on a early ultrasound but I got a positive pregnancy test on September 25th. If I had implanted when I was supposed to I wouldn't have gotten such a easy and strong positive at this date. I was reading that only 20% of women get a positive that close after ovulation/implantation and that it's usually a very faint positive. I got two very strong positives. Took two tests within hours of each other at night. Wasn't even the first pee of the day.

Should I continue to expect this baby on May 31st? I don't trust the ultrasound they did because it's so far off my very regular period, first day of my last menstrual period, and even when I was supposed to ovulate. I'm very confused by everything and with having a almost 2 year old I want to make sure that I'm on my game and not expecting my son a week later then I should be.

I would do whatever your gut says :). Who knows if he'll even hang out until his due date lol. I have a feeling my boy will arrive early...

I think the problem is, is that she keeps insisting that the ultrasound is right but it honestly doesn't match up with ANYTHING logically. I have always had a regular period and cycle. I doubt that it magically changed. She doesn't think that I should move my due date to May 31st even when I insisted. I had a ultrasound at a different OB when I had to stop going to this OB for awhile for insurance purposes. And they said I was measuring right on track for where I was saying with a due date of May 31st. I think I'm just going to expect my baby when I know he's coming.

They told me I was a week off, changed my due date to a week earlier. I know exactly when I conceived because I was taking ovulation tests and. Recorded the date I got a positive reading and when we had sex. At my ultrasound they changed my due date. I have been measuring right on ever since. I am still confused, but seem to be progressing on track for tjr days they have me :)
