The calculating doctors do is deceptive. They count back from the first day of your last period, which isn't always accurate; There's an error of +/- two weeks (which would make sense if you say 3 weeks and they say 5- you had your last period in June, 5 weeks ago). An ultrasound can better gauge just how far a long you are... Did you tell the doctor at the hospital about using the 72hr pill? It's worth bringing up the next time you see your DR.
