Should I lie?

[Faevantastic]

Someone else was asking this before, I think it was TrudyCampbell?  I need to get off my lazy ass and call the OB one of these days.  My question is... I didn't ovulate til
CD52... so should I tell them my real LMP, which was Jul 1 and let the dating u/s determine my due date OR should I just lie to say my LMP is whatever two weeks before O date?  It was annoying before when I was pregnant with Evan because there was a week difference between their calculation (based on LMP) and my calculation based on O date.  I know a week was no big deal but it was confusing because I was like is my baby the size of a lemon or is it really the size of an lime!?

Which ever option puts your due date the latest.

I lied and told them a date 2 weeks before I O'd so it would match with the DD that FF gave me. But.... telling them the truth will get you an earlier u/s!

[TrudyCampbell]

In this case I'd tell the truth. It's to your advantage that your period was so long ago because you could be so far along if you had ovulated on time. i think if you tell the truth you'll get an u/s on the spot.

[TrudyCampbell]

I think the early measurement EDD is more accurate than LMP even if your cycles are normal?

[TrudyCampbell]

I would say your true LMP but then say you think you ovulated much later than normal.

ETA and that you got negative pregnancy tests on earlier dates if you did

yes tell them about your crazy ovulation and get a dating u/s. Apparently at 8ish weeks dating u/s are extremely accurate.

Mine was saying oh lets just go by LMP but I insisted- NO NO NO ultrasound. ultrasound! But I was induced at 42 weeks with Matilda so I need all the time I can get. I figure even 4-5 days could save me from the evil pitocin!

I would tell the truth on when your Lmp was. I didn't have a period when I went off birth control with Lydia and my Lmp was way off of what the actual due date was. So they did a dating ultrasound and it was accurate.

[tuck]

I would lie and to make your due date later. Because, if they see a blob when they are expecting a baby on an ultrasound, they may needlessly freak out and make you stress and go through unnecessary tests.

In this situation I would tell your actual LMP but say you were charting and have very irregular cycles and would like to request dating ultrasound.
