Yes, there is a small chance if your cycle was delayed. If you are planning or trying to avoid, keep tracking your dates carefully because pregnancy tests and doctor visits can add up to your monthly budget quickly. Better to plan everything practically.
My mother-in-law said we don't need so many scans, but I trusted my doctor completely. We did the dating scan at 8 weeks, NT scan at 12 weeks, and the big anomaly scan in the 5th month. It is always better to follow the medical advice.
