When could my due date be?

I want to keep this anonymous, but I was just hoping to get some feedback from other mamas. I found out on December 3rd that I am pregnant, and I don’t know how far along I am because my periods are so irregular. Obviously, I’ll find out about how far along I am at my ultrasound appt, but that’s still a few weeks away, and I’m anxious to know my due date, lol. So I had my last period on October 24th, and that would put me at roughly six weeks pregnant, but because I was trying to get pregnant, I took a test on November 23rd because my period should have started by then, and it hadn’t. It was a digital test by the first response, and the result said “YES+” so I got all excited and took another test, just a regular test by the first response, but only one line showed up, and another digital test said “NO-. “ Between then and now, I haven’t had a period, but I tested again on the 3rd of this month bc I was having symptoms of pregnancy, and I got a positive digital and like eight regular positive tests, and I’m feeling pregnant! I have my OB intake this Friday, and they’ll just ask a bunch of questions and take my blood and a urine sample and then schedule my ultrasound for the following week. I guess I just want to know if it’s possible that somehow that digital test on November 23rd could have been accurate even tho the others were negative? If not, then I should only be about four weeks pregnant, I think.

If your periods are irregular, there is really no way for any of us to know. You’ll have to wait for your appt.

August 8th possibly or in august in general.

There’s no way to know until your appointment. Ask the OB. They can test your hormone levels and go from there.

I believe the doctor is able to lock down a date for you

Both times I got a due date ultrasound because mine are irregular too. First time they checked my hgc level and was able to say I was roughly 3 weeks based on the level. Second time they just did a ultrasound and I’m due in May

I couldn’t get a positive until a was about 6 weeks. Thought I was about 3 weeks. But knew I was

False negative are common, false positives are not… that positive was probably right

If I had to guess, I would say probably July or beginning of August. I conceived my daughter December 13th of last year and my due date was September 8th but moved up to September 2nd because of growth but her stubborn self was stuck so I was induced September 7th and delivered her on the 8th! you’ll for sure have a summer baby!

Your due date might change and not go off of your period if your baby is measuring ahead or behind at your ultrasound. :purple_heart:

I put it in the pregnancy calculator and it came up with July 31st… so I’m guessing sometime in july… :grin::grin::grin:

I conceived my baby October 24 last year and was due July 18, so two weeks after that

They always did the ultrasound and everything right at my first appt, so I left that day knowing my due date. I also have/had an irregular period. I am 31 weeks with baby #2.

I found out December 1st I was pregnant ultrasound predicted by due date to be August 7th.

Id say you maybe around him that time too. My last period when i was pregnant was around October 26th I believe can’t remember exactly xx

I did home test that was positive but Drs one came up negative. You can get positives then miscarry but if you are still getting positives that’s a good sign. Mine was correct btw…they sent me for a scan and I was only seven weeks!

I got 8 negative pregnancy tests with only 2 positives. I’m 6 months pregnant! Sometimes the tests were wrong. I would get a Clear blue test that estimates your date

i do ultrasounds and the easy calculation is
first day of the LMP + 7 days and minus 3 months (use the next calendar year).
But still note that
the most accurate method is measuring the embryo or the fetus to estimate gestational age by ultrasound biometric s. good luck😃

Yes, if a digital is pulling up yes, then most likely it’s a yes lol

Your HCG level may have been to low to be picked up. So very possible that the negatives were false which sometimes are common. False positives, aren’t as common. At your intake, they’ll most likely estimate your due date, based off your last period. And then by the time of your first actual appointment and them doing the ultra sound, that date may change. Depending on what the baby measures. Your due date is probably around the end of August to the beginning of September.

I’m guessing July 30th. I think the first test was right. I also had two negatives and a faint positive when I was pregnant with our twins and finally had a very positive test when I was 8 weeks late.

I would say it sounds like you may have had an early miscarriage before and this is a new pregnancy. It’s very hard to tell. But the ultrasound is the only way to know for sure

When I was pregnant it was end of November and yeah I didn’t get confirmation until Feb (being stubborn and also a 19 year old at the time) but they said august 21, she came the 22 almost the 23! The first few tests I took kept going back and forth from neg to positive, but my periods were almost non existent

The blood test should tell your HCG level which will tell how far along you are

I am very happy about my experience with Priest Andrew who helped me to reunite back my broken marriage.

You can’t get a positive test without pregnancy hormones being pregnant unless it’s evap lines which doesn’t sound like is the case. Your first test was accurate and the negatives weren’t sensitive enough to pick up the small amount of hormones. Although that doesn’t help narrow down your due date very much since you could have barely been 2 weeks pregnant when you took that test or a whole month pregnant. Best to wait for the ultrasound to give you a due date. Even then, due dates are just suggestions and not an exact science.

It usually varies by obgyn but bc my first kid was a miscarriage, my obgyns always schedule me the earliest they can for a viability ultrasound at 8 weeks. Sometimes they wait for 12/13 weeks. Based on that I would say you’re anywhere between 8-12 weeks likely

The blood work should give i and estimate… I had something similar happen when I was pregnant with my son i have pcos. I was right on time with the first test. Pcos or other hormonal imbalances can cause the tests to do weird things and pick it up differently at different times early on… also idk how true but depending on how much water is in ur system and the time of day early in pregnancy can throw the test also

Both my babies were conceived around Nov 20th. Both due dates were aug 13. Thanksgiving is a fertile time for me​:woman_shrugging:. BTW they are both grown and Leos buckle in for a great ride! :muscle::muscle::muscle::muscle::muscle:

The pee tests can have false positives and false negatives, I’d wait till your pee and blood tests and even then I’d fully wait for the ultrasound…you just never know women’s bodies are crazy sometimes lol

I had a blood test come out negative a week before I found by via ultrasound I was pregnant with twins…so…my suggestion is just wait.

Not sure about the tests but I conceived my first at the beginning of nov and my due date was early august. So you’ll probably be due sometime around that

Based on your last period being October 24 your due date should be around July 31 give or take a few days

Just wait. The ultrasound can literally get it down to the date. If you have a smart tech. :slightly_smiling_face:.

That is almost exactly the same date as my last period when I got pregnant I think mine was the 26th and my due date was August 1st and I had my son on July 17th a little early

Not sure if it helps but when we were trying I got told this about pregnancy tests ‘you can get a false negative result but never a false positive’ I later discovered its because of the hormoan levels you produce during pregnancy which is what the tests detect.
So what I’m trying to say is that the original positive sounds like is accurate and the ones you got as a negative just were not good enough to pick up the hormone.

I may be be wrong as I’m not a medical professional but that’s my thoughts based on what I was told about home tests. Xx

I gave birth 4 montha ago. My last period was October 25th. I took a test November 23rd. I had him August 1st. We have basically the same dates going on. Hope this helps.

Some times they can be a false negative urine test. To get a more accurate positive or negative, and any ob would agree, would to do the test as soon as you wake in the morning. Because all of your hormones had over night to build up in your urine and they would show up more on the test. But i would wait to see what the dr says.

If you subtract 3 months and add 7 days from your last period, that should be about your due date! I’d assume that first test on November 23rd was correct!

It’ll probably be in the summer or around the end of the summer. You’ll know around when you’re next appointment.

I found out I was pregnant with my youngest right before thanksgiving and my due date was July 24th. So if the first test was right it should be July, if not august

The test on November 23rd was definitely a positive. Depending on the time of day you took the others & the type of test, they probably showed negative because of the amount of hormone you had at the time. You should count 40 weeks from your missed cycle. Did you notice any irregular spitting between the missed cycle & November 23rd? If you recall that day, more than likely it was your implant day. Your experience is much like mine when I was trying & my doctor counted from my missed cycle date but I knew spot on because I knew the day I implanted. Congratulations!!!

Usually only get false negative not positive tests so yes you were probably pregnant when you took that test :slight_smile:

My cycle was off too I thought I was 7 weeks based off my last period I ended up only being 4. Because I didn’t ovulate when I thought.

There’s a test that guesstimates how many weeks you are.

Probably false negative. I’d go with the first test

You will be due on July 29th 2021. 7days up and 3mons back.

Well you will soon find out

Well I’m 8 and a half weeks and was 6 weeks when I went to the Dr but was 4 when I took a home test that said no so could be

Highly possible, especially if you took the first digital one with the first urine of the day, then did the next one later in the day

Growing up has never come the easier way. It comes with lots of challenges like lost marriages, lost love, financial and job problems and so many more, but still there has always been a solution to every challenges that we face in life. Life has been so difficult for me these past few months and I had given up on myself knowing that I will not find love or true happiness again. Two months ago I found out I was pregnant and I was so happy and excited to have my own baby and I didn’t even call my boyfriend. I just wanted to take the results to him and show him face to face and share the good news together. But when I reached his flat I saw his car parked outside and knew he was home so I went straight to his room. When I knocked, he allowed me to enter because he wasn’t expecting me at the time, but when i opened the door I nearly fainted because I caught him ready handed with another woman in his house. I looked at them and closed the door and ran away, he followed me saying his sorry and the woman is just a friend and nothing else but I knew he was lying and I walked away. I reached home and cried a lot until i told my best friend everything and she told me to fight for my man and not loose him to another woman. She gave me Sir Marere contact +2348109805184 email is: marerespells@gmail. com and told me Sir Marere will bring back my boyfriend to me and love only me. So i contacted Sir Marere and told her everything, he made a love and binding prayers for me and in 1 day of the prayers my boyfriend came to me with that woman I saw him with and knelt down and begged for my forgiveness and told the woman that am the love of his life and he doesn’t ever want to see her again. The woman walked away and that evening my man came back with a baked cake and gifts and flowers and asked for my forgiveness again and promised never to hurt me again and I told him that we are having a baby, he cried and smiled with joy and happiness. We are back together and so much in love and waiting for our baby to arrive. Thanks so much Sir Marere your prayers indeed work. You can call or whats-app Sir marere on +2348109805184 Email: marerespells@gmail. com incase you are passing through the same situation. Don’t be discouraged by what people may tell you that even don’t know the situation you are going through, all that matters are the results so feel free to contact him.

Congrats!!! U sound prefect to me

As anxious as it can be trying to get pregnant and finally getting a positive result. I would just expect summer time and wait for an actual date. Pregnancy is a waiting game the whole time. Good luck and congratulations

I was 20 when I got pregnant. My periods were so irregular. Every few days to weeks without lasting a day to weeks. At 18 I had my last period food over two years. I found out I was pregnant. Dr told. Me impossible since no period in years…I was pregnant lol an 3 drs were unable to pinpoint my due date.

My period last year before I got pregnant, LMP 10/27/19 found out dec 1 I was pregnant my due date was 7/31/2020 and had my rainbow baby girl 7/16/2020 :sparkling_heart:

Its an exciting time especially if you’re trying for a baby… my advice is to be patient its hard to not get anxious and want to know everything right away but the best way to know is to wait it out until you see the dr

I believe that the one negative test you had earlier wasn’t as sensitive to pickup the lower HCG levels earlier in the pregnancy. It is easier to get a false negative than a false positive, so I think you are pregnant farther along than you think.

Who knows wait til ur appointment

I’ve been told that pregnancy tests can be false negatives, but never a false positives. They measure HCG levels and will not read positive if there is not any present. However they can read negative when there is not enough HCG present. So the earliest test was right.
I also have very irregular periods. It made dating things very difficult, but I had 6 successful pregnancies. With my 4th, my last period was the first week in September. I was sick toward the beginning of October so I took a test then, but it was negative. I was still feeling yucky at the end of October, still no period, so I went to the doctor and he did a test. Also negative. Thanksgiving came and went, still sick, still no period. Took ANOTHER test the first week of December and that one was positive. My daughter was born July 22. I have no explanation. Just sympathizing because wacky periods are truly annoying.

Not an OB nurse or anything but I was taught that a false negative is possible but false positives are not usually the case. The tests check for a pregnancy hormone you have it it will show positive. If you don’t have enough for it to be detectable you can show negative. Remember, it’s a long 9 months…

At first they called 7/1 next year due to my period then just changed it to 7/11. I had irregular periods as well, they were between 4 or 6 weeks apart. So…it was 10 days off. If you can figure how irregular your periods are, then it will be ± that many days you are pregnant!
