Hi everyone:wave:
What I'm checking in on may be a silly question but just have a query about due dates. From what I worked out from my LMP (which was Jan 19) I should be coming up to 11 weeks pregnant. My ultrasound is telling me different and that I am coming up to 9 weeks pregnant, that is from the measurements and everything I guess. What I'm asking is, is the variant due to the gestational age and the fetal age?? Like am I 11 weeks pregnant and the baby is 9 weeks old. Or am I 9 weeks pregnant and bubs is only 7 weeks old??? Just slight confusion, sorry :confused:

You usually ovulate 2 weeks after AF but you may have ovulated later in your cycle. Usually the Dr will go off your first scan but don't worry too much about it because you're only two weeks off from your guess. They will say you're 9 weeks because of measurements.
BTW Congrats on your :bfp:
