hi,

I'm not sure where to put this thread. I'm pregnant but not as far gone as originally calculated according to the date of my last menstrual cycle.

Today I went in for my 19 week scan to have a look at the baby (and hopefully get an idea of the baby's gender - we're too impatient this time).

It turns out that baby is too young to reveal it's sex. 16 days younger infact. Woh, so I am now 16 weeks+5 days pregnant, and have suddenly lost 2 weeks

The due date (Nov 9) was calculated according to the date of the first day of my last period (Feb 2). The midwife explained that it is more accurate to calculate according to the date of ovulation, although not everyone knows this (we had a rough idea as I was using an ovulation kit but didn't note the date).... I remember the hormone levels rose (ie I was ovulating within 24-48 hours) a little after the kit predicted, going by the "average"... but it definately wasn't 16 days afterwards.

Do that mean I theoretically ovulate at the end of my cycle?

I can't get my head around this. I think I need to lie down.
