    Ok the whole last period date plus 2 weeks math is got me more confused maybe you can help me out.

    She told me on monday the Dr said she is "about" 3 weeks along, sunday night she told me her period was 5 days late. The earliest we could have concieved would have been on the 26th of last Month which happens to be exactly 3 weeks from yesterday...

    She means 5 weeks gestation then, roughly speaking. You would see very little on an u/s at this point - a sac maybe. As far as I can tell that's all there is on that pic.

    Well that makes sense. If her period is 5 days late she would be "about" 5 weeks pregnant (medically speaking) though many first time Mums would think they were only 3 weeks pregnant. As literally she is but because pregnancies are dated from the 1st day of the last period this makes her medically speaking 5 weeks.
