When working out your due date websites state 'first day of your last period'. Is that the last date you physically had a period and bled or when your last period was due and didn't arrive?
I'm confused.
I last 'bled' in November but my last period was due in December and didn't arrive.
HELP!

Count from the first date of the one you had in November, put it in your website or simply add 9months & 7days to this date it will be your EDD, you should be at least 10 or 12 weeks now so book in with doctor midwife to organise you antenatal care, most places in UK do a nuchal scan between 11 and 13weeks so get sorted asap:o)

It is the first day of your last period where you actually bled. What it does is then works out when you would have ovulated, and then works out the date from there.

If you started your period in November and you have not had a period since then well then that is the period that you go off for example if you had your actual period in November then that is the date that you go off of. I hope this helps and best wishes to you in the future

You always go by the first day of your last period.
Go by your last period which was in November

They want the first day of the last time you actually bled. So, if your first missed period was in January, they want the first day of your December period. (or whenever) :-)

My last period was in October im due july. My friends last period was november she is due august. Your baby will be here in august if your last period was in november. Hope this helps.

If its your first child then it will be 40 weeks from the last time you came on - the first day of your last period! So yours will be November!
If its subsequent kids, they are normally 37 weeks after!
Hope it helps!

The first day of the last period you bled. It is the first day of your last menstrual period or LMP.

When asking this they want to know the first day you last had a period so if you have one that lasts 5 days the first day is classed as the first day of your cycle.
Hope this helps
I would do a test though.
