    Working out my due date

    I'm having trouble working out when this baby will be born. Until I had my m/c in January my cycles were exactly 27 days long. My m/c had two lots of bleeds. The first one only lasting a couple of days and then a second lot that lasted a week. My period came exactly 27 days after the start of the last lot of bleeding. Then my last cycle was 29 days. So when I use the pregnancy calculator due I put in a 27 day or 29 day cycle? Obviously it only makes a difference of a couple of days in the due date calculator but I still want to know. Any ideas?

    Maybe put it in as 28 days??? 1 or 2 days isnt really going to matter but i think going straight down the middle might be the way to go. Congratulations

    Thanks Kristy. I will do that. I have an appointment at the doctors on Wednesday, so it will be interesting to see what she says to do.

    I've seen a few doctors during this pregnancy & they've all based the due date on a 28 day cycle even though mine was always shorter than that. I think most of them do it that way. Remember it's only an estimated date.

    Well my doctor worked it out on a 28 day cycle. So 23rd December it is.
