Unless you know exactly when she ovulated with LH hormone data, you don't really know when she is due. Don't panic. I have people count approximately 63 days from the time of the tie. Sperm can live a week or more in the bitch so even with a tie date you really don't know when she is due, so try to relax, and watch for signs of impeding labor (nesting, milk production, drop in temp, etc.).
