Do Irregular Periods Affect The Pregnancy Due Date?
I am 38 years old. my LMP is 13/4/10 and my last sonography shows I am 33 weeks pregnant. I had an irregular cycle before conceiving. My report shows that my due date is 31 jan 2011. But as per LMP it should have been around 18/01/11. is this 12 day gap due to irregular cycles?

Hi,
I understand your query & concern.
Yes, irregular periods do affect date of conception & so the due date too.
conception is possible only around ovulation day & ovulation day is 14 days prior to the day of next periods. Naturally, irregular periods have irregular ovulation days.... naturally the due date also changes accordingly.
Thanks.
