The earlier they do the scan the more accurate it is. Mine picked up the exact day of conception at 7 weeks. (I knew because it was the only day within a 3 week period I had sex) and the scan was completely accurate to within a day. However, the farther you get, the more "off" the scans get because all babies grow at such different rates. Get one now and I am sure it will be accurate to within a couple of days of conception.

Just approximate since the baby will grow a little bit different in each person.

A sonogram is just an estimate it could be off by 2 weeks or so at most. But it will give you about how far along you are.
