    Your own menstrual cycle, always. Machines are based on averages and mathematics. We all have unique cycles hence why we never give birth on the guess date either.

    Yep, I would go with your conception date. I totally understand where you are coming from though....my DS was 11lbs 2 oz, although he was two weeks late (going by my conception dates).

    DTD date isn't always the same as O date though. Do you know when you O'ed cos that could be the 5 days difference IYKWIM?

    I would say U/S due date since ovulation day and BD day are not necessarily the same. When I was PG with DS my LMP due date was 6 days before my U/S due date and he was born on his U/S due date.
