What does it mean if the ultrasound shows that you are 5 weeks pregnant but your last menstrual period shows you are 7 weeks?

The system to calculate a womans due date in the United States can be a little confusing. They will take the date of your last menstrual period and count forward 40 weeks to arrive at your due date. However, you are not truly pregnant for the first two weeks (and only 38 of the 40). This is why an ultrasound would show a 5 week old baby when your last period was 7 weeks ago. You will need to account time for when ovulation actually happened after your last period, time for the egg to be fertilized by the sperm, time for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and implant (this alone can take up to 6 days or more), and then, only after implantation does your body produce the hormone hCG and mean you are "really" pregnant. All of that can take up to two weeks.

Yes. The pregnancy test is nearly 99% correct if it reads positive. Congrats.
I have an ultrasound scheduled on the 30th of this month if I am pregnant would they be able to see anything on the ultrasound even though it is only two weeks after ovulation?
If you were pregnant the developing embryo would be about the size of the head of a pin. The embryo is not the first sign of pregnancy found on ultrasound; the yolk sac shows up long before the embryo is visible. The yolk sac can't be seen uon ultrasound until at least four weeks after the last period.
When do you start getting synthoms if im pregnant?

If you are 10 weeks' pregnant and the ultrasound shows a thickened nuchal fold does that mean your baby will be born with Down syndrome?
Thickened nuchal fold do exist with babies with Downs. If ultrasound shows this, it surely means one thing - a triple test as well as amniocentesis - a MUST - for confirmation.

Last menstrual date was on November 15 but after scaning the menstrual date shows is on oct 15 what might had happened?
It is possible that what you thought was your period was either implantation bleed or light bleeding that can occur when the pregnancy hormones don't quite prevent some bleeding at the time your period is due.
Can you take an at home pregnancy test while having your period?
Yes, but if your menstrual blood comes in contact with the test strip it will not give you accurate results. If you have your period, you might not be pregnant. You should wait fourteen days after intercourse to take a home pregnancy test and get accurate results.

It can take weeks until the test shows negative after a miscarriage. The hormones takes time to catch up.

Yes you can get pregnant A menstrual cycle is the time from when your periods start to when your periods start again, the timing can differ somewhat and the period can be longer or shorter, however that does not significantly change what the menstrual cycle is about. the menstrual cycle is about preparing you for getting pregnant.

Why would you have an HCG level of 27814 and know you are 9 weeks' pregnant but your ultrasound only shows the fetus is at 6 weeks' gestation?
6 Weeks Gestation actually counts from fertilization. However many weeks pregnant you are is actually counted from the first day of your last period. So, when you are 20 weeks pregnant you are actually only 18 weeks gestation. You may of had your days wrong and you really is 6 weeks or they may be measuring your baby head incorrectly
How long does it take to get a positive test if you are pregnant?
You should take a test now if you are almost 2 months late. A pregnancy test usually shows positive if you are pregnant right after your period is missed.
