@KT326: I also argued with medical office staff with my first pregnancy - not my regular OB's office though - I have to go to the hospital's practice for the NT scan and fetal echocardiogram. I knew my exact due date because I did IVF and the secretary could not understand that. I just called that particular office to schedule my NT scan for this pregnancy and it was like they'd never heard of anyone going through a FET. Goodness gracious.

I think if you've been through an IUI, IVF, or FET then the office should go with your RE's due date. It's more exact for all of the upcoming tests you might need done.

Yeaaah, this is one of the reasons I prefer midwives. They listened to everything I said and based my due date off of my ovulation. They ask everyone detailed questions about their cycles before setting an EDD.

If someone has average length cycles and doesn't know their O date, fine. But it shouldn't just be an automatic thing for everyone.

I HATE the one size fits all approach to medical care.

My OB used my O date to calculate due date.

I fought for the ovulation date. I ovulated 2 weeks late and told the doctor I was not going to have messed up test results or be treated as overdue because they thought I was 2 weeks farther ahead than I was. I won. And as it was, we couldn't find the heartrate early, so I had a dating ultrasound. My date was right.
