How Does Ovulation Affect The EDD?
Question: I was wondering why my Dr. set my Due date 6 days ahead of 40 weeks? He set my Due date at XXXXXXX 11th, but when I put my LMP (Sept. 10th) into the due date calculator it states that I should be due XXXXXXX 17th. Did I possibly get pregnant before my LMP? or did I just ovulate a Few days early?
Brief Answer:
Can be based on ultrasound scans.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The earlier due date can be due to an earlier ovulation or may be it is based on the ultrasound findings where the baby is showing a slightly higher growth. This does not affect the baby's growth. Regular scans and examinations will help in detecting the expected time of delivery near term.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
