Hi, I went to my doctor today and found out that I am pregnant. The first day of my last menstrual period was 9th Nov,2007. The length of my cycle was 28 days last year, but this year it somehow ranges from 32-35 and back to 28 days on October and November.My doctor said that my due date is 7th July,2008. What I don't understand is that when I use the pregnancy due date calculators on the internet all of it says my due date is 15th August,2008. Which one is correct??

I don't understand either. According to Nagele's Rule, you should be due on August 16.

Nagele's Rule says that you subtract 3 months and add 7 days to your last menstrual period. If your doctor has a different date, almost a month earlier, you should ask him/her how they formulated this due date.
