Blood work cannot tell you how far along you are as the levels vary so much from pregnancy to pregnancy, go with the ultrasound.

How can you know the horse is pregnant?
Ultrasound, palpation, hormone assay, and if she's far enough along she'll look pregnant.
What numbers on ultrasound tells how many weeks pregnant you are?
Most ultrasound machines don't list how far along you are on the pictures that are printed. The technician that is running the machine can have the computer calculate the age of the fetus using measurements.
If you went into the ultrasound and they said you were 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant according to babies growth you went to the midwife and she said you were 7 weeks gestation what does that mean?
Gestation is the same as saying pregnant. So when your midwife says that you are at 7 weeks gestation, she is saying you are 7 weeks pregnant. It is most accurate to go from the first day of your last period to figure out how far along you are because babies grow at different paces in the womb and if your baby is growing a little faster at first, the ultrasound may show it as being further along than it really is. Your midwife is probably getting your due date using the last period method, so I would go with her and say that you are 7 weeks pregnant.
Is it possible to be further along in your pregnancy than what your ultrasound says?
When they do an ultrasound, they measure the baby's head and that's how they determine how far along you are. So if your baby's head is smaller than average, then they would give you a farther due date; If it's bigger than average they would give you a closer due date. Please remember your due date is an estimated guess, not the actual date you will absolutely deliver It depends how much the difference is and at what stage you have the ultrasound. At six weeks ultrasounds are accurate to within 2-3 days, by 12 weeks they are accurate to within 4-5 days and by 20 weeks they are only accurate within 5-7 days.
How far along you are you?
On average you can work this out as the number of weeks from the beginning of your last period. If you don't know or can't remember or your periods are irregular an ultrasound is quite accurate.

The only way to determine if youare pregnant, and how far along you- are is to have a blood test, or to have an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy.

This is hard to tell early. The further along she gets, the easier it gets to see that she is pregnant. Her belly will become big and solid.
When your pregnant how can you tell how far along you are?
When you go to the doctor, he will be able to help you figure out when your last period is. They are also able to determine when your due date is by the ultrasound and by feeling around.
How accurate is the ultrasound due date?
They are accurate within 2 or 3 days. But this does not mean that you will have the baby on your due date. Babies can be born any time between 37 and 42 weeks. That is what midwives are taught anyway. With my first my ultrasound said I was due 10 days after my period date but my husband had been away on a trip form the day after conception! Second time around the ultrasound agreed completely, and showed twins. (now 16) == Your last known period date or the date of conception is a better predictor....as all babies are different & you may have an extrememly large or an extremely small baby for it's gestational age, and when compared against babies in the "norm" the due date could be way off.
Can an ultrasound determine when you got pregnant?
Yes. The obstetrician can use the images from the ultrasound screening to date a pregnancy. The size of the fetus, placenta, and/or your uterus are some of the factors used to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy. However, scans performed earlier on in the pregnancy are generally more accurate than those performed later, since in the later part of pregnancy the measurements could be affected by growth variations and may not correctly reflect the fetal age.
How far along pregnant do you have to be for it to show up in blood work?
10 days after conception gives you an accurate results via blood test.
