[quote=Anonymous]So, after 5 cycles, 2 losses, and 1 surgery we are pregnant and have finally been released to a regular OB/Gyn.

Everything looks fine, but I'm rather confused by due dates.  Both the nurse and the OB are getting a later (by 4 days) due date than I get based on ER date.  Even though I have to keep correcting them to clarify that LMP is irrelevant with IVF (due to BCP, I can't even recall when it was)...but ER should give you the exact conception date and there should be no confusion on this point.  Is there something different about the way they calculate for natural vs. ART?

I don't really mind having a later due date than what I think it should be since I don't think I would want to induce early etc, but I find it very odd that they don't get the same result as IVF if they are correctly putting the ER as the conception date into their wheel.  And I don't think the issue could be that they are mistakenly using the transfer date (which my OB kept calling the implantation date which makes me think I should switch doctors), because I had a day 5 transfer which should make their estimate 5 days off I think.

Anyone able to shed light on this?[/quote]
