Most doctors will go by the earliest ultrasound measurement, because going by the LMP is rarely accurate, as you can ovulate or implant sooner or later than assumed. If you're consistently measuring bigger/smaller, then your doctor will consider changing your due date, but I think it's pretty rare nowadays.
How far along am i?!
So I recently switched doctors. My old doctor didn't seem to know what she was doing. Anyway, she determined my due date, not by my LMP, but by measuring the baby early in my pregnancy. Going by her due date, I'm 30 weeks. Now with my new doctor, she measured me at 32 weeks (by measuring my uterus) but didnt change my due date. Now at this point I'm questioning things. So I go to calculate my due date on a due date calculator at it puts me at 32 weeks, using my LMP AND the date I concieved. Either way, they came up at 32 weeks.

Ha I understand. I would consider myself 30 weeks, unless otherwise stated by your doctor. She would've told you at that appointment.

yeah she isn't available until my next appointment, or I would be talking to her lol. I just want it to be precise because my last baby came at 32 weeks.

Measuring two weeks ahead at one appointment isn't a big deal. I'd say you're still 30 weeks, but this is probably something that should be discussed with an actual doctor. They all have different protocols, but most go by earliest scan measurements.
Ur due date needs adjusting u Must address ur concern if u was to go over and have to be induced and they didn't adjust it by two weeks means u would be four weeks over due and that could pose great risk to baby so make sure u don't leave until they adjust it X have u had scans what date did they give u cos they normally do a dating scan x

No recent scans. I should ask for one. But that's what I'm saying.. everyone is like "baby will come when baby wants to come". But the thing is, I had my last baby at 32 weeks. i want to be precise. plus, if they have the wrong date they can make all sorts of wrong decisions when it comes close to delivery day.
