To confirm dates if you are unsure or to confirm a viable pregnancy if you are threatening to miscarry. However if you are sure of your dates and not miscarrying, please go to this website. http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/ultrasoundwagner.asp So much for Tom Cruise buying one to ensure the health of his baby.
Generally, pregnancy is measured from the date of your last period. At two weeks, you're just at the point of fertilization and implantation, and there's nothing for an ultrasound to see yet. Even at four weeks - two weeks from the date of implantation - it's unlikely for an ultrasound to give you an accurate result. They may be able to detect some changes indicative of pregnancy early on, but to get a more accurate reading it's advisable to wait a bit.
It depends on how far along you are. Ultrasound normally can detect a yolk sac between 5- 7 weeks. Kristin, RDMS
my step sister had a baby and she had her first ultra sound at 2 months so yes i believe it's still early. Actually I had an Ultrasound done at 5 weeks and 5 days. They were able to see the sac, baby and pick up the heart beat at 122 bpm. So no, it it not too early to get an ultrasound.
It is not likely. The earliest an ultrasound can usually detect pregnancy is about 5 1/2 weeks. Although you may be able to see a little sac (with essentially nothing in it) a heart beat may not be able to be detected. This is nothing to worry about though. Implantation occurs at Week 2 of pregnancy so it is not likely that implantation would be able to be seen with an ultrasound.
I was told the same thing. Based on my lmp I am 6 weeks but I had an ultrasound done 2 days ago that said I was 4 weeks. I wonder if I am 4 weeks along because that is the time of conception since you dont get pregnant the day of your period. It is usually two weeks later when you ovulate. Let me know if you have heard anything
That means it is the date conceived (or within 48 hours of). It is never right on, but within a week of. Go by what the ultrasound says. No, if your ultrasound says 17 weeks and 2 days that would be that date plus 2 extra weeks, that is around the time of your last period, unless you have irregular periods or conceived straight after a miscarriage or something. The length of pregnancy is always measured from your last period even by ultrasound.
i had an ultrasound when i was 6 weeks pregnant, but by ultrasound, the pregnancy measured to be 5 weeks, so no fetal pole was seen yet. i think the earliest fetal poles can be seen is about 6 1/2 - 7 weeks. hope this helps :)
You have two due dates...one accourding to your last period and one accourding to the size of the child on the ultrasound...i think the ultrasound one is more accurate

I understand what you are saying when you say messuring, they messure the sac and it calculates what the size is to get the age of the sac/fetus.
31st March or thereabouts
Because it's about 12 days of conception
99% probability it was between 10 weeks & 10 weeks and 4 days ago.
