anyone's due date off?

Question

Hi! I had my first ultrasound last week and according to my LMP I should have been 7w4d along but he measured it to be exactly 7weeks. My period and ovulation date was so so regular and I'm pretty sure I know the exact date I got pregnant so why was I measuring behind?! Trying not to stress over it 😩 has this happened to anyone else?

Answer

I was the exact same at my appt (literally exact - 7 wks 4 days, measuring 7 wks). My doctor told me that measuring can be variable, so as long as it's within 5 days either way they are not concerned at all and will not change a due date. Don't worry yourself sick, everything is just fine!

Answer

If I remember correctly sperm can live in the vagina for 3 days. 
But I know the feeling I've always ovulated late so my sonogram has been about a week off. This time about even with my calculations it's still off. I thought I was 6 weeks and when we did  on sonogram they saw the sacs but no baby yet. So I'm a little worried 😩

Answer

I was the same today, had the dating scan this morning according to my dates I was meant to be 7wks 1 day but they measured me 6wks 1day.
I don't really know how to feel!! I know I'm very lucky to be pregnant just a little sad that I have to go through week 6 again!

Answer

I noted this under another post too but it's likely the conceptional age vs gestational age- also its rare for mothers to deliver on their due date so if your within about a weekish on the dates you are in the ballpark :-)

Answer

Same thing happened to me im suppose to be 8wks 3 days based off lmp but i measured 6 weeks 5 days.  I go back for 2nd ultrasound next week

Answer

When I went in I was supposed to be 7 weeks 3 days and they said I was only 6 weeks and so many days. They just estimate. I wouldn't try to worry about it too much
