Because a pregnancy is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, but the actual conception doesn't take place til about the 14th day after the start of the last period. So while you're physically 5 weeks pregnant, the medical field considers you 7 weeks pregnant. It's for accuracy of dating.
Determining pregnancy start dates has a bit of guess work involved. At seven weeks I wouldn't be overly concerned unless you are a heavy smoker/drinker, which could easily show as slowing the growth process of the baby. Talk to your doctor!

Is diarrhea a sign of pregnancy or miscarriage?
Answerno---I think it possibly could be a sign. My baby stopped growing 6w2d and my diarrhea started that day, but I did not miscarry for 3 weeks. Once the baby stopped growing, I had diarrhea for 7 days straight - and that never happens to me.Now I am pregnant again & I hit 6w2d yesterday and my diarrhea started again. The doctors feel my baby will not make it based on my 6w1d ultrasound, so this diarrhea could be a sign in my 2nd miscarriage.

Think Im 6 weeks pregnant but ultrasound says 4 weeks Can this be?
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.

You can estimate within a couple of weeks based on when you stopped the pill, and the answer will become clearer as the pregnancy progresses, usually via the ultrasound exam.
Is your pregnancy normal if the ultrasound scan reveals you are 5 weeks pregnant with the gestational sac and yolk sac minus fetal pole but based on your last menstrual period you ought to be 9 weeks?
There are two answers to this - one good and one bad. The most probable answer is that you miscalculated and you are actually 5 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately there is a possibility that you did fall pregnant 9 weeks ago and that the pregnancy will not progress. It is possible that either the fetus is not developing, or that the fetus has died which usually means the gestational sac will shrink and appear to be not as advanced as you are.

If someone has an ultrasound and it indicates 7 weeks pregnant from conception date is it possible for the ultrasound to be off by 4 weeks and be 11 weeks pregnant?
It depends on when your U/S was done. I had an U/S to date my last pregnancy, because I was not having periods due to birth control. My baby was small for gestational age and so the U/S showed him due later than he actually was. BY over 3 weeks. An ultrasound done before 12 weeks is accurate to within 2 or 3 days. After that it becomes less and less accurate as your pregnancy progresses as obviously some babies grow bigger and faster than others.

Is it possible to go a month without knowing your pregnant I just found out I am pregnant and I don't know when it happened and have no way to know how far along I am I see a DR in a month?
It is possible to have what appears to be a normal period when you already pregnant; so that can throw off your calculations. A doctor can estimate the date of conception based on the size and growth of the baby, but sometimes it is not as accurate as we'd like.
