If your doctor says you are 27 wks, then that is what you are. They count ovulation as part of it, too. That's the two extra weeks. Don't worry. The kid will come when it's ready, just hopefully not at this stage!!!!!

The reason there are two ages, is even with todays technology the ultrasound can be off by two Weeks that is why on at ultra sound if you look closely you should see plus or minus x number of days. Now when the baby is born they look for certain physical and developmental stages that happen at certain weeks. This is how they would determine the "age" of the baby.

Good question! This confuses me too! They would go by 27 weeks, and so should you.

They go by 27 weeks.
This method never made much sense to me, you are 2 weeks pregnant at conception.

Go by what your Doctor says.
