8 weeks measuring 6w3d

Hello! I went for my first ultrasound on 12/3 for pain in my side that ended up being a cyst. They measured the sac and said I was about 5 weeks 5 days along.

I just went in for what I thought was my 8 week ultrasound and I was only measuring 6 weeks 3 days. There was a fetus, and it had a heartbeat of 129bpm.

Based on my date of conception I should be 7 weeks 5 days, so not sure why the baby is only measuring 6 weeks 3 days. Drs didn’t not have a whole lot of answers, but I have to go back in two weeks to be rescanned.

Has this happened to anyone before? Have you gone on to have a healthy pregnancy, or is this eventually going to turn into a miscarriage?

Maybe you ovulated later than you thought or you have a longer cycle than 28 days. It sounds like baby is growing and has a strong heartbeat so I wouldn’t be too worried ❤️

My sister in law was high risk from both her pregnancies (for her own health complications) both her babies measured smaller then where she could have been based on her last period. They changed her due date 3x with my recent nephew who is now 6months old.
