In the end of april/ start of march I spotted for 12 days (which would have been a few days late for my period and my periods usually have a few heavy days) should I count that 1st day of spotting to calcualte my due date or should i use the 1st day from my period the month before? Please help!!

    use the 1st day of your last period!

    calculate the day u had *** and add 9 months.

    i would take the month before because the spotting .. can be implatation bleeding , and later when you get an u/s they will know more exactly whne you are due… good luck

    You can use either date because when you go see the doc when your about 2 months he’s going to tell you the exac. ate by the way the baby is measured. I would go with the end date tho… good luck.

    Yes it is true the average pregnancy is nine months but if you want a pretty reliable electronic calculation tool one is offered here for free!

    probably the period before, but ask your doctor to make sure.

    Calculate from the first day of your last period.
    is a great site to calculate your due date.

    40 weeks from the first day of your last period.

    calculate from the first day of your last period.

    You can go to websites and just punch it in and it will let you know your approximate due date.

    Babyzone.com has a calculator you can use to get your due date. It depends on your period length, it isn’t just a set matter of days. There is a lot more information there too.

    I would calculate it from the first day of your last period… the spotting could have just been implantation bleeding.

    That’s a good website. Gives you week by week info.

    The only way to really know for sure is to have an ultrasound done. You can figure it out yourself if you know the dates or approximate dates of ***********. It sounds like your cycle starts right at the end of the month. If you had *********** in the middle or near the middle of your cycle in May I would say that you most likely conceived then. Implantation bleeding does not usually last 12 days. Implantation bleeding typically shows for 1 to 3 days as a brown or pinkish discharge. I would bet that you conceived in May and that you are almost 4 weeks pregnant. If this is the case your due date should be on or about February 5th 2008.
