    According to Fertility Friend and my own calculations, I am 15 weeks pregnant with an EDD of 21 April 2010.

    However, I saw my doctor who has said after a dating scan at 8 weeks that I am 13 weeks pregnant with an EDD of 27 April 2010.

    I?m a bit puzzled. I understand that she is saying I am 13 weeks pregnant going by the gestational age of the baby, but I thought doctors went by the LMP date because different babies grow at different rates (within reason)? Also, how can there be a two week discrepancy between how far along I am, yet only 1 week?s difference between my EDD?
    Based on your dating scan, if your EDD is 27 April 2010, then by my calculations you would be 14 weeks pregnant (not 13 weeks).

    However, if they say bub is now 13 weeks based on measurements then EDD would be another week later.

    When did you get a positive HPT?

    Do you have another ultrasound booked in, this might give you another measurement to help work out where you are up to.

    take care
