possible incorrect dating scan
possible incorrect dating scan
I had my dating scan yesterday and the tech said I'm 6w2d which I don't believe at all. That would been the sperm survived 2 weeks before reaching the egg. I know when I ovulated and when we had sex. Going by their dates I got my positive 3 days after I ovulated. I'm so confused!

Possibly you ovulated a second time? Usually dating scans are pretty accurate, and they give you weeks from when your LMP was on a average cycle (if your cycle was like mine and all over the place it doesn't match up with what I know my LMP was.)
I'd go by the dating scan Hun. As much as your days may be out. It could have just implanted very late.
Either way congrats again!! I go for my dating scan tomorrow so I'll see what they say then.

Mine was pretty much the same. Based on my dating scan I started getting pregnancy symptoms the day after ovulation and got my bfp 3 days after ovulating. I really didn't think that was possible but that's the date they've used throughout my pregnancy. I'm now 38 weeks and have measured a week or two ahead each time but otherwise everything has been fine. Don't stress about it or overthink it too much ?

I had a dating scan at around 6w3d even though I knew my dates. The tech told me I was 5w4d. I got my bfp at 9dpo, so if she was correct I was actually only 3dpo for my first positive test (I was tracking ovulation). I was pretty upset as I thought it meant I was going to miscarry as I was CERTAIN of my dates. Anyhoo I went back 2 weeks later and had a repeat scan, and baby was measuring the same as my dates based on my LMP.
I think they actually advise you to wait until around 8ish weeks for a dating scan as it is most accurate then. Good luck!

With my second they gave me dates from the dating scan and I knew they were wrong. At 12 weeks she asked me how far I am, I told her and then she asked what do I think I am so I told her I should be ahead. She's like "Well you're right!" and my dates were all changed and brought forward.
Either way, good luck and congratulations ✨

Yes same! With my first 2 they said I was earlier. With dd2 they said 2 weeks behind what my lmp suggests. So, positive pregnancy test within 2 days of conception? Doubt it!
