7 weeks but measuring 5 weeks 4 days

[PrettyPepper]

Hi everyone,

I really need some advice. I went to have an early scan today. My LMP was 7 weeks ago. But the ultrasound scan showed it was measuring at 5 weeks 4 days and could only see the sac. I rang the hospital and the doctor said it is quite common and I could’ve gotten my dates wrong. I’m going in for another scan in 10 days time.

Has anyone ever had this? I’ve had really strong positive tests and the weeks have continued to climb on clear blue weeks indicators.

This happened to me. I kept the due date I thought I was as it was w NHS and ended up somewhere in the middle of what the early scan had said and where I thought I was. Benefit was that I got 2 NHS scans - 11 weeks and 13 weeks and the NHS sonographers were brilliant. I agree with everyone here the private scan was a waste of money and also made me feel very anxious. Consider every day a “win” and one step closer to the next scan. Time moves soo slowly in this period but it is moving forwards nonetheless. Best of luck 🫶
