Early scans measuring 3 weeks behind.

[Charlob]

Hey guys,

New here ☺️

I was just wondering if anyone had been in a similar boat?

I am pretty confident with my dates as I tracked ovulation etc. I had my period on February 22nd and positive ovulation on March 6th/7th. Faint positive test on March 17th, Clearblue 1-2 on March 19th and 2-3 on March 23rd.

I went for an early scan on April 13th where baby should have been 7+2 but was measuring so behind I was out of range at 3.2mm. I went for a scan on Tuesday 28th and baby is measuring 6+1 with a heartbeat. I’m just not sure how this can happen when I really monitored my dates. Has anyone been in a similar position?

I’ve attached my scan pics, 15 days apart.

Hi, I had an early scan when my dates made me to be 6/7 weeks pregnant, lady said I was very early at 3/4 weeks.. went back 1 week later and heartbeat was seen and was told I was 5+5.. had my 12week scan last week when my dates should have been 12weeks but my early scan dated me at 10weeks and I was 11 weeks, sorry sounds confusing, but by the time you get to 12week scan baby might have 'caught up' also early scans arnt the most accurate as they only need to get the measurement slightly wrong and it can knock off days/week as they are so small at that stage.

Thank you! That’s made me feel better. I’ve been googling so much and it’s made me feel awful. Convinced myself I don’t feel pregnant anymore. Even got another early scan on Thursday...

Just hoping babies can grow at different rates xxx

Aww if you've seen heartbeat then I wouldn't worry, I know its harder said then done, I have a home doppler and heard babies heartbeat from 7/8weeks pregnant so that helped me alot x
