Got my dating scan done and the report mentions weeks but im confused about the actual conceive date. My cycles were thoda irregular so im not sure of my dates at all. Can the scan tell exactly when it happened?
During my early scans, my due date shifted by a few days compared to my period date. It's quite normal! Focus on healing your body and prepping for the delivery, whether it's normal or C-section like mine.
Hey, don't stress too much about the exact date of conception, okay? The doctor's report will give you an estimated gestational age and due date, which is more than enough. Enjoy this phase rather than doing all the math!
The early scans done before 12 weeks are actually the most accurate for dating. Usually, the conception date is about 2 weeks after your last period date shown on the scan report.
With PCOS, our cycles are so irregular that calculating conception by periods is impossible. The early ultrasound was a lifesaver for me to know my actual week of pregnancy. Trust the scan's dating, it is highly accurate.
Honestly, ultrasound machines calculate gestational age based on baby's measurements like CRL. Your conception date is generally two weeks prior to that gestational age. Just trust the doctor's EDD on your first trimester report.
