Ultrasounds are fairly accurate - a fetus at 12 weeks is very small. A 22 week fetus is fairly large. They measure how big bones are, and the distance around the head. There is no mistaking a 12 weeker for a 22 weeker.
I presume you are asking about dates in pregnancy. Nothing is absolutely certain about pregnancy dates, as I hope you doctor explained.
Yes
At this stage, yes the ultrasound can be off by 10 days. Mine was off by ten days the other way, that is I thought I was 18 weeks and the ultrasound said 16 and a half. I knew when I had conceived because my husband had been away on a trip.
my ultrasound said that my last period was nov25 could it be right
I think all ultrasounds these days are pretty accurate. If you have doubt you could always go to another clinic for a second opioion. Good luck
Because it's about 12 days of conception
It is unlikely that they would be that far off. They're often off by a couple of days or weeks, but not usually 1 1/2 months off. I strongly suggest that you speak to your doctor about it for more information.
An obstetrical ultrasound can be as much as 1-2 weeks off, before or after the due date.
36 weeks is 9 months, you are full term. due date could be off by a little but i think you are about ready to go.
it is called a blighted ovum if your counting of the age of gestation is correct and yet no baby is formed except of the sac. on the otherhand if you are not sure of your counting then do an ultrasound 1-2 weeks after your first ultrasound to see whether the baby develops or not at all. just cant flawlessly explain the blighted ovum. check out on the web or much better ask your physician.
If you know when you conceived you should always go by your date. Ultrasounds, especially later in pregnancy, are not as accurate. Here are the dates that they can be off. The inaccuracy of ultrasound First trimester: 7 days 14 - 20 weeks: 10 days 21 - 30 weeks: 14 days 31 - 42 weeks: 21 days
I'm assuming you wnat to know this because you are unsure as to who the father is? Please, forgive me if I'm wrong though. Ultrasounds can be inaccurate by a margin of about 2 days. There's no way they could be off by as much as 4 weeks though! Sorry, I hope things work out for you though!
yes
