I know on my u/s it says +-4D, so there is a margin of error there. If your doctor doesn't seem concerned and the sac is growing that's a good sign!

my 1st u/s with this bean was when i was supposed to be 6w0d and the bean showed only 5w3d. we too only bd'd 3x during "the time" of the month. i heard that u/s's can be off by ONE full week! the sac growing is a wonderful sign...sure everything is fine! can't wait for your u/s next week!

hey molly...ask away girlfriend! warning..this could get long.

my preg with this bean had a very rocky, and miraculous start. at 1st i refused b/w...after 2 angels i didn't want the stress of watching the numbers. but at 5 1/2 weeks i suddenly "stopped feeling pg". i called the dr. for b/w. that was a monday. the dr. called me personally on wed and told me my progesterone was dangerously low and a m/c was eminent (prog was 6.5...he said anything under 11 is m/c levels". they had us in for that u/s on thursday...i was supposed to be 6w0d...babe showed 5w3d. all they saw was the sac...nothing more, not even fetal pole. they did more b/w and i went home. the dr. called me friday and said that miraculously my hcg was still going up. he thought it was too late, but that we could start progesterone supplements. we did of course! they had me in for an u/s the next week. that u/s i was supposed to be 6w6d and the bean only showed 6w0d...so still far behind...BUT there was a hb of 124!!! :) good news, but we weren't out of the woods. they had me in yet the next week, and i'll tell ya, that next week i was SOOO exhausted and this is why...i was supposed to be 7w5d and the bean showed 7w3d with a hb of 146. SO the bean had grown 9 days worth in 6 days....no wonder why i was so tired! since then all has been well!!! bean is growing right on schedule through what they can tell exam wise....i haven't had an u/s since...though i ask for one at every appt!

wishing you the best!!!! (((HUGS)))

hey molly! that is SOOO much like my preg thus far!!! except the dr. wouldn't even tell my my hcg...he said they didn't matter...they were doubling, but not as high as they had hoped.

wishing a wonderful u/s filled with heartbeats next week!!! please keep me posted!! i'll be praying for you and your bean!

Hi Molly:)


Yes to both questions--I've heard that an u/s can be off +-4/5 days and that sperm can live inside of you for up to 5 days.

Molly,


I just had another scan today and my husband (he's a physician) was with me.

Hi Molly - it sounds like good news to me! My 1st u/s was a week behind too, but she caught up over the next couple weeks and now measures right on my due date. What they are measuring is so small, that a millimeter can make a week of difference. Are they going to do another one soon?
