coz my doctor goes by my last period witch was 30th June so am i 5 wweeks or 7 not sure what to tell people now and how do i know when to do my 12 week scan

Hun I had the same thing with ds. The scans aren't always perfect, and sometimes you can ovulate at funny times, iykwim. Most doctors and midwives will go off the date on the scan (and you will be asked "Are you sure about your dates?" about 100 times )

Nothing to worry about. for the record, ds was 4 days early according to the scan, but according to all the midwives he 'looked like' an overdue baby so who knows?

its just hard coz what do i tell People ?

do i go by the first day of my last period and im 7 weeks and 2 days or do i go by the scan that says im 5 weeks ad 2 days really stressing about this

go by the scan. AS its called a "dating scan"anyway. Sometimes u will ovulate late and this will occur so when you had your last period doesnt come into play IYKWIM

the same thing has happened to me, the dating scan has put me back a week. It seems to happen to most people.
but i am still going by my LMP. just cos it sounds better and I'll wait and see what they say at my 12 week scan.
with the scan i'm pretty sure in the information they give you it says you can have it anytime between 11 and 13 weeks, so i just booked somewhere in between.
dont stress about it too much, 2 weeks wont make a huge differance, maybe see what your doctor says.

I am in a similar position. I had my scan this morning and from my dates thought I was 6w1d but was told I am 5w3d. I came home and did some google searching and found out that in these early days, even one day can make a massive difference to what they can see on the ultrasound. The sonographer (?) did say that to me this morning too. I am just thinking/hoping that since mine was a belly scan then maybe not much more could be seen?

What did you see? I just saw a sac - that's it. Was hoping to at least see a yolk

[starangelk]

What if you told people you were around 6 weeks? Smack in the middle of both estimates. That way at your next US if your dates move again it isn't going to feel like such a massive adjustment? Just a suggestion.

Hope you are feeling okay

i will post up the pics tomrrow for u starangelk we seen the sac and the yolk and heard the heart beat so its confusing i will type up what the results say tomorrow when i get them

just makes us feel stupid me and Joel been telling epople im 7 weeks to have the s\ultrasund say 5 weeks

I would go by the scan at this stage there is a big difference in what you can see between 7 weeks(fetus with hb) 5 weeks most usually gest sac or maybe small fetus they are usually max about 5 days out at this stage but with 2 weeks difference I would go off the scan as you can o late and the dates really start from 2 weeks before you o but not everyone like myself has a 28 days cycle

wish you a h&h 9 months and when you are holding your bub 2 weeks won't mean much
