My due date is right on with my charting, and LO measured within one day of the due date last visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1093129 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:02:42 +0000 Lately 1093129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious about this, too. I was charting and I've been measuring consistently 4 days ahead... which oddly enough would give me a due date aligned with LMP and not O day (which was CD18). Guess I'll find out in January (or December?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1089114 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 06:07:55 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1089114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered 3 days from my charting due date and 4 days from my adjusted due date (by midwife). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1089096 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 05:44:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 1089096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my scans had my EDD around 4 days before what I considered my "real" EDD based on my chart. I had LO 3 weeks before my EDD anyway. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1089083 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 04:39:05 +0000 illumina 1089083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my 12wk scan they brought my due date forward a week. My due date is in 3 days time and I see no signs of her arriving, so I'm convinced she's going to stick to her original LMP date of 9/26. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1089078 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 04:26:25 +0000 AprilFool 1089078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My due date was 2 days later than what my chart said and I went to 41+2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1089038 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 01:50:53 +0000 PurplePeony 1089038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have long cycles, so when I told my MWs what I thought my O date was, they used that instead of my LMP. I wasn't charting temps, though, I was using other O signals that I've learned through my previous months and months of temping (gave up temping after about a year and a half because the other sign were so clear it wasn't really necessary). Anyway, they didn't do a dating scan but at both the NT and anatomy scans the baby was measuring 1 day ahead, so pretty close to where we expected it to be. We'll see how close the birth date ends up being! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088806 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:59:54 +0000 travellingbee 1088806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My charting due date was the 8th, dr due date based on lmp was the 11th and he was born on the 14th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088772 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:45:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 1088772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dating scan due date and charting date were both 8/10, he was born 8/8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088710 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:15:16 +0000 MamaMoose 1088710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chart due date was 11/27.

I had to be induced at 41 weeks due to GD. But I was born two weeks late so I'm thinking genetics played a role in LO not wanting to budge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088646 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:42:47 +0000 augustmama 1088646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my due date based on charting was the same as my dating ultrasound and baby came just two days early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088598 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:13:56 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1088598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a week late - my charting due date was two days earlier than my ultrasound due date, so technically I was 9 days late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088585 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:07:08 +0000 mamabolt 1088585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured spot on with my expected due date based on charting, ,but I went a week overdue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088578 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:04:10 +0000 sslm 1088578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My due date based on charting was basically the same as the dating u/s I had (1 day off).

So, 5 days earlier.<br /> I gave birth on the 15th. So, smack dab in the middle :)</p> <p>Of course, there are women who go through IVF and still they go 3 weeks early or 2 weeks late. Labor is all hormonal. A "button" in the brain goes off and triggers the labor to begin.<br /> It is nice to know your real EDD though, so in your heart, you know if your baby is done baking or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088461 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 17:45:11 +0000 Grace 1088461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured 4 days early on the dating ultrasound, but went into labour 2 weeks late.

My due date was based on LMP, which made it one day different than if it was based on my charting, and i measured right on track the entire time. I don't know if that's the norm, but I was confident that my due date was correct (within a couple of days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-bees-who-were-charting-when-you-got-your-bfphow-close-was-you-due-date#post-1088436 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 17:16:21 +0000 tillma 1088436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I happened to be charting when we got our BFP and my due date at 33 weeks is still measuring exactly on. I am just wondering other Bee's experiences with this...does it make you more likely to be close to your due date? I am not expecting a timer to go off on my due date and for the kiddo to be born right then but I am wondering if it at least seems to ensure slightly more accuracy (as in not going two weeks over?) </p>
