Conception date wrong at first ultrasound?

Question

Today I had my 6 week appointment and the ultrasound detected my conception date, but it was off by two days, anyone else have this problem? ￼it showed two before I had sex

Answer

2 days doesn't matter. There can be a couple days discrepancy on any scan. Some scans I'd be 2 days behind, next scan 2 days ahead, others 1 day behind etc etc, same pregnancy

Answer

Conception date doesn’t really matter. They measure pregnancy off the first date of your last period. Unless your baby is measuring 7-10 different in either direction (sooner or later) they won’t change your expected due date.

Answer

Sperm can survive a few days so even though you had sex on one day, you might not actually conceive until a few days later. It’s almost impossible to know the actual date of conception. You could probably pin point the date you had sex that led to conception, but you very likely conceived after that date.

Answer

Very normal. We don’t always ovulate right on the dot or as these apps predict so you could have just ovulated a few days off. Nothing to worry about and typically that small of a change won’t effect your due date.
