If your due date from your period differs from your ultrasound due date does that mean high risk of miscarriage?

No, it does not mean that you are in high risk of a
misscarriage. The Doctor will normally give a due date with an
ultrasound but with a variable of 2 weeks before or after the due
date. No worries!
Thank you! I also did some other research, and i guess since I
just came off the pill, that could have thrown off my ovulation for
that month, which could throw off my due date.

If an ultrasound says you are 17 weeks and 3 days pregnant is that the day you conceived or would it be that date plus an extra 2 weeks?
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.
Asked in Health
How accurate is an ultrasound if you do not remember your period?
If you do not remember the date of your last period you can have
an ultrasound to determine your due date. More than one ultrasound
throughout your pregnancy may be required because ultrasounds are
not always accurate. They could be out as little as a couple of
days by a matter of weeks.

An ultrasound at 6 weeks should show a fetal heartbeat, if there
was a fetal heartbeat you're not miscarrying..
It's probable you estimated your due date wrong.

Asked in Periods and Conception, Menstruation, Ultrasounds
How does an ultrasound detect when your last period was?
An ultrasound does not detect when your last period was. An
ultrasound measures the size of your baby compared with the
millions of others that have been scanned and gives an estimated
date of delivery. Up to about 20 weeks of pregnancy all babies are
about the same size. After that the size of the baby depends more
and more on genetics and nutrition. Counting back 40 weeks from the
estimated date of delivery gives an indication of when the last
period might have been.
Asked in Pregnancy
How do I know when I got pregnant?
The doctor or midwife will go by the date you started your last
period, or by the size of the embryo at the first ultrasound.
Asked in Ultrasounds, Due Dates, Conception Dates
When given a dating ultrasound do you need to subtract two weeks for an actual date?
When you have a dating ultrasound you are given an EDD
(estimated date of delivery) If you count back 40 weeks from this
date it should be about when your last period was. If you do not
have a regular cycle they may not correlate exactly. 38weeks back
from your EDD is approximately when you conceived.
Asked in Ultrasounds, Due Dates, Smoking While Pregnant
When did you conceive if your ultrasound said 10 weeks sept 4?
It would be around 8 weeks before the ultrasound date, since you
are not actually pregnant for the first two weeks. Pregnancies are
dated from your last period. So period on day one, conceive around
14 days after that and therefore '2 weeks pregnant' at that date of
conception.
Asked in Ultrasounds, Fetal Development, Emotions
Why would the Fetus measuring small on ultrasound Is there anything to be worried about when my due date is Feb. 17 and ultrasound is saying the fetus measures for a due date of Feb. 27?
That's only a 10 day difference. The doctor may have just
miscalculated the due date. Your due date is 40 weeks from the
first day of your last period.
Asked in Pregnancy Symptoms, Periods and Conception, Ultrasounds
How can I tell how far along I am if I don't know the date of my last period?
An ultrasound can accurately date a pregnancy. Also, a doctor
can give a rough estimate by measuring after the first couple of
months.
Asked in Ultrasounds
How accurate is the ultrasound due date?
In the first 8 or 10 weeks, transvaginal ultrasound is very
accurate, usually to within 2 or 3 days. After this time period, it
becomes less accurate, varying up to 1 week if the ultrasound is
performed late in the 2nd or in the 3rd trimester.

Your due date was July 21 2007 and you had your baby July 23 2007 you got your due date from your first ultrasound at 10 weeks How accurate was this ultrasound and when did you conceive?
Two days late is perfectly normal. A date by ultrasound is only
an estimate.
Asked in Pregnancy, Periods and Conception, Due Dates
How do you determine your due date?
Only an ultrasound scan can give the exact gestation of the
fetus and will give you the closest guess to your due date. Most
midwives and health proffesionals will take the date your last
period began and calculate 40 weeks from this giving you a rough
due date, this is only providing your last 'period' was actually a
period and not spotting if you may have already been pregnant.
Asked in Periods and Conception, Menstruation
Could I have conceived in August despite a lighter period but missed it in September?
It is possible, yes. After your first ultrasound, the doctor can
estimate an exact date for you. Congratulations!
Asked in Pregnancy, Menstruation
How can you tell how far pregnant you are if you do not know the exact day of your last normal period?
That would be a good question for your doctor. The doctor might
suggest an ultrasound. From the ultrasound picture, the technician
can estimate how old the fetus is and predict your due date.
Asked in Pregnancy Tests, Periods and Conception, Ultrasounds
You are 13wks and 5days pregnant according to your last period but 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant according to your ultrasound but do you take off 2weeks from the ultrasound date you were told on 1st de?
You should be given an Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD) from
both your last period AND the ultrsound, and they should match. If
the ultrsound date is 2 weeks later than the period date it may be
that you ovulated late in that cycle. The due dates for my
pregnancies changed several times or more during the nine months.
I'd follow the latest due date and you'll be so happy at the end if
he/she arrives early. :)
Asked in Miscarriages
How long after you miscarriage can you try again on another baby?
If your miscarriage took place in last stages of pregnancy, or
if in your miscarriage any kind of surgery was done, you should
wait more than six months to try again so that your body comes back
to normal position and you also mentally prepare yourself to try
for another baby.
But if miscarriage occurs in early stages of pregnancy, like
within three months, and your bleeding stopped within 10 or some
more days, then you can try immediately after miscarriage and there
is no need to wait long. Recent studies show that if a woman get
pregnant again after a miscarriage within six months, her chances
of a healthy pregnancy are far more than those who get pregnant
after six months. However you should wait for a normal period after
miscarriage and when a normal period comes, you can try to get
pregnant again after this period. This is because if you get
pregnant immediately after miscarriage and do not wait for a normal
period, you will have no exact date of start of your pregnancy as
well as LMP. So it is advised to wait for a normal period. My
advise is also that you try again after a normal period after the
miscarriage, and try immediately after that period and do not wait
any more. There is no need at all to wait for more than one normal
period. Hope this is the answer to your question.
Asked in Pregnancy, Periods while Pregnant, Periods and Conception
When you get pregnant how many months is it before you miss your period?
Zero. Having a period means you've discharged the ova. If you
are pregnant this would not happen unless there's a miscarriage.
Most women have no periods after they get pregnant. That is why
your due date is worked out from your last period.
Asked in Periods and Conception, Menstruation, Ultrasounds
Can the calculation done from an ultrasound report and the one made from your last menstrual period differ as much as 1 week?
Yes, if you have a long cycle they can differ. In my first
pregnancy my last period was December 17th which made my due date
23rd September. My ultrasound (at 18 weeks) gave a date of October
4th. I had a 36 day cycle. 3 years later my cycle was 28 days and
my ultrasound was spot on. An early ultrasound, around 6-7 weeks is
extremely accurate. The later in pregnancy it is done the greater
the variation as babies are all different sizes.
Asked in Pregnancy, Conception Dates, Sonic the Hedgehog
When did you conceive if you gave birth on April 6?
It is impossible to say as a term baby could be born from 37
weeks to 42 weeks of pregnancy. You need a due date from a period
or an ultrasound to have an idea of conception date
Asked in Conception Dates
If you are 11 weeks pregnant how do you determine the conception date?
Conception date is based on your last ovulation cycle prior to
when you didn't get your period. But this can be incorrect if you
didn't conceive when you was ovulating. Alternatively you can have
a ultrasound scan which will give you a conception date but this
can be off by 5 days.
How can a tell the date of conception?
by the date of ur last period u would typically ovulate two
weeks after that one or two weeks before the next one so sex around
this date would be u conception date or by an ultrasound u take off
two weeks from how many weeks they say u are and that's the
possible date of conception because like everything during
pregnancy ur ultrasound is measured by lmp.
