EDD ?'s: Since the fetus has growth patterns which vary sometimes from "average" measurements (which are those which are used to calculate the "due date") the "EDD" may not be totally accurate. If your concerns are regarding the potential parentage, genetic tests can confirm same via DNA when the baby is born.

Depends if early U/S: What was your EDD based on? Was it based on a very early vaginal ultrasound? If so, then subtract 2 weeks from the gestational age that the ultrasound said. Example: U/S said 6 weeks 2 days. Go back 4 weeks and 2 days on the calendar from the date of the U/S. That might be the best guess.
