Poor u/s - any success stories welcome!

I am as sure as I can be of my O date, given that it was my first real cycle after m/c on June 2. I had o symptoms on July 4 and thought I O'd on July 5. OPK's from July 8-18 were all BFN. Then a HTP on July 20 was BFP, which was exactly 16 days after my fertile symptoms. So that would make me 8weeks exactly today.
I had my u/s today, but measured only 6w4d. Sac was good, yolk sac consistent with fetal measurements, and heartbeat was seen by Dr (a bit iffy, I thought, but who am I to argue?). How can I be 10 days out on my dates! I mentioned my BFP on July 21 (4 weeks ago), which would have only been 7dpo, and she said maybe I just had a hormone surge, who knows?
AAARGHH! I am so frustrated. I so badly wanted to see an 8week baby. If anyone has any good stories of similar situations, where the dates were WAY out this early on, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, PPT's are appreciated!
SBV's to all of you

I'm only a lurker but do have a similar story so thought I'd post! I was very confident of my dates too, but when I went for an u/s at 8w3d, the baby only measured 7w1d so that was a 9 day difference. There was a heartbeat though, and things have gone extremely well since then. I'm now 23w3d with a very active little baby! :) By the way at my 12w u/s I measured 12w6d so the baby seemed to have made up for the discrepancy earlier. I know that they go by the earliest ultrasound as being the most accurate but our bodies do strange things sometimes. Be encouraged by seeing the heartbeat and good luck for the rest of the pregnancy! Hope this has helped,

DH is convinced everything is fine and I'm out on my dates. He apparently tracks our BD'ing (I didn't know!!!) and when he looked back, he said I was particularly amorous at the exact time the u/s showed conception, with plenty of activity happening, both the day before and the day after, as well as on O day (wink wink). So he has really comforted me with that. Now I just have to work out how I feel about him keeping monthly stats on our relationship (grrrr!)

Beautiful name! We're naming our little girl Olivia Grace! I just wanted to let you know that both of my pregnancies with my DS (4) and DD (2) measured exactly 14 days small. They really messed up my due date. I knew exactly when my period started and exactly when we concieved, but the nurses insisted that my due date was 2 weeks later than it was. So long story short, I delivered him 2 weeks late and he turned out to be a 12 pound baby. My advise is to stick to your original dates, or at least have them change your dates back at your 20 week sono (the baby will probably be caught up by that point).
This baby measured exactly to the date, but I just wonder if that's because my new doctor uses a level 2 machine to date?
Congratulations! Don't worry about the size-those babies catch up fast, and really, they could have made a mistake (something they wouldn't admit anyway).
Take it easy and have fun!
