it could be that the Dr. is measuring the age of the fetus instead of when the lmp was. Either that or the ovulation date was later than you thought. It's not really that much off...
When I got pg, the Dr. said I was a 6 weeks but I was really 7. It happens.

Yes you could be off. Happens to alot of us. With my first daughter, after the first ultrasound they changed my due date to 3 weeks later than original due date. Second daughter, they changed the due date ahead about 10 days. And with this pregnancy, I was off on my LMP date and after ultrasound, they changed it from April 1st as due date, to April 10th. Good luck to you both!!

When they did the ultrasound were they dating the pregnancy from gestational age or fetal age? Most likely they were dating fetal age--the time from conception not gestational age-the time from lmp.

It depends on if they were counting from gestation or fetal age. if they were counting the fetal age she would be 5 weeks and then add the 2 weeks gestation would make it 7 ..call and ask which they were using :)

No, You are probably not off, the patient's dates often differ from the MD's often by up to two weeks.
