I wouldn't wait that long to be seen. I'm 8weeks and already been seen 3 times. They calculated my due date based on my last period but when I had the ultrasound last week they upped the due date by 1 day.
I knew when I ovulated too because I was using the ovulation strips. I knew I ovulated later than the norm too but they really don't care. It's not that they don't believe you its just that you might have known when you ovulated but you can't know exactly the point the egg was fertilized. So yeah you are probably much closer to what you think your due date is with ovulation but you also want to make sure you're far enough along in the pregnancy that they will see a baby to be able to measure.
I got pregnant July 28 and my due date is 4/20 I'm 9 weeks now
If you're switching docs, I'd make the new appt before canceling just in case the new office can't get you in quickly. Good luck. My edd had always been about a week different than my lmp. Example: according to lmp my edd would be 11/18... u/s date read 11/24. My doc goes by u/s. Congrats! :-)
That's a good point. But I know when I ovulated, so shouldn't they take that into account? Even if I'm off on this, I still want to know because I hate being in the dark =/
Thank you! I'm really excited because this is my first one =). I'm hoping that if/when I cancel my appointment with the first doctor and make one with the OB my friend suggested that I'll be able to get in sooner. *crosses fingers*
I had my first ultrasound at 2 hat I thought was 8 weeks but they measured the babies and it was 6 weeks 6 days which was more in line with when I ovulated. They go with the ultrasound due date as your due date. The lmp is just an estimate to base your appt off of because they don't know with 100 percent certainty the day you ovulated.
Your spotting may have been the plantation period. But when you get your first ultrasound they will go based off measurements to get a better accurate estimated due date for you. Congratulations!
