[quote=Anonymous]I have had similar issues but thankfully did not have to lie to my doctor.  I’m also data obsessed and was completely clear on what day I ovulated and got pregnant each time. So I understand the frustration when someone says “oh maybe you’re off by a few days”. Ha!  As if.

#1 - I ovulated on day 18 or 19.  When the doctor first asked for my LMP, I said “it was X date but I have long cycles and I got pregnant on y date”.  Dr knew me well enough at that point to listen.  She somehow noted that and then later it synced up exactly with the dating scan and so they stopped asking me for LMP.  At some point I noticed on the sonogram pics there was an incorrect LMP date so the doctor had basically lied to the machine for me.

#2 - I ovulated on day 28!  Crazy long cycle. I told the doctor that again and never had to deal with the LMP question.  Synced up with the scan, proving I was right again.  This time I noticed the sonogram no longer had an LMP date but rather a conception date, so the software seems to be updated in a more medically accurate way.

#3 - A word of caution for you, OP, in case you have more kids.  Around 39 or 40 my cycles, which have always been 35-40 days, shortened for some reason.  I unexpectedly (but it was a pleasant surprise) pregnant from sex on day 8 of my cycle (I think I ovulated on day 10).  That was previously my safe zone. [/quote]
