I went for my u/s last week. I too going by my last period should have been about 8 weeks but by the scan, I seen the sac only and measured at 5w2d. My bloods also indicated around 6 weeks. So my GP is sending me again in two weeks. I'm not to worried as my last daughter , with my first u/s I didnt see anything no sac nothing but two weeks after I seen her hb. And she is now a very happy two year old.
With my first bub they changed my dates about 3 times, i had a bleed at what i thought was 8wks they did an internal and said no your only 6 weeks, then when i went for my 12 wk scan based on the internal they said no your 13 wks, etc etc.
As many ppl have said they will generally get you to go off the SCAN dates but i guess you can never be 100%, this time round i am lucky enough that my dates were spot on and they haven't changed me once yet and i am now 20wks.. YAY
Just wanted to add, at my first scan with ds they didn't see a heartbeat or a yolk. I had an extremely uncomfortable internal scan and that didn't pick up a heartbeat either. The heartbeat was there two weeks later, but it was a very stressful time.
I think from memory i always used to tell people my due date, not the scan date, until i was about halfway along. They changed my due date about 6 times, spanning over 3 weeks in total, so everyone was a bit confused anyway
