Question

Due dates by cycle length or not...which is more accurate?!

I recently got my bfp...yay! Ofcourse I immediately wanted to calculate my due date. And here's the probem...the due dates that factor in cycle length (my cycles have been 24 days for almost 10 years) give me a due date 4 days earlier than the calculators that due not ask for your cycle length. Which one is more accurate? The one that factors my due date seems to line up more with my ovulation date. What do you think?

The calculator that factors in your cycle length is most likely estimating when you ovulated, which will give you a more accurate due date.

If you know what day you ovulated, there are calculators that will use that date. Although it really doesn't matter - they will adjust your due date accordingly after your first ultrasound, if necessary. and in the grand scheme of things, 4 days won't be significant anyway. Congrats!
