due date

I know the day i ovulated. Do i calculate based off of my ovulation date or my last period? I ovulated late in my cycle so i would really like a close estimate. My last period was 7-13-14 and i ovulated 8-4-14 the doctor i plan on seeing doesnt do a scan til at least 8 weeks.

If your period started on 7-13-14, then your due date is 4-20-15.
Tell your doctor the day you ovulated and she/he can adjust your due date. This is a very common problem for women who have cycles longer than 28 days. I suspect your ultrasound will give you a different (later) due date than the standard "wheel" that OBs use because the wheel is calibrated for 28 day cycles. My wife had 34 day cycles and we always had to adjust her due date. Good luck.
In general, you will ovulate 2 weeks before your next period, so your usual cycle length can help you pin-point it. Some women get cervical mucous changes during the fertile period, which is the best way to know, and a lot better than an expensive test. The very best protocol is to have sex at least two or three times a week, then there are always sperm present for conception, and you can forget about timing.
