Ultrasounds measure the size of the fetus to predict a due date and are usually very accurate, within two weeks, so I would safely assume that it would not be off by five weeks. You can ask your doctor, it won't be the first time he or she has answered that question,I promise.
Also it depends on when the U/S is. U/S before 12 weeks of pregnancy are very accurate, plus or minus 2 weeks. After that there are more varibles, babies grow at different rates so they are not as accurate.
For about the first 10-12 weeks all babies grow at about the same rate so term date can be calculated fairly accurately, you then count back 38 weeks for the date of conception. After 12 weeks babies may not all grow at the same rate so it becomes less accurate.

No, you count back 38 weeks for the conception date, but don't forget this is just an estimate.
NO ultrasounds measure amniotic fluid and the fetus head, this would not alter you're conception date. If you wanna know you're conception date go to www.webmd.com and they will calculate the time you conceived based on you're due date. It's just an estimate. GOd bless
EDD is ESTIMATED. If done by scan is 38 weeks from conception. An EDD is based on the LMP (last menstrual period) and not the date of conception. The ultrasound measurements are comparing the baby to the expected size of other babies at the same gestational age. The earlier the ultrasound is done in the pregnancy, the more accurate it will be. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
It depends on whether July 22nd was the due date of the baby too. It would be roughly October 28th, give or take a few days. However, it is difficult to accurately say when a conception date is. Therefore, I suggest talking to your doctor, midwife or obstetrician about it.
Ultrasound gives an estimate of the age of the foetus. At this stage of the pregnancy, it's quite accurate, but it's still only an estimate, and the date of conception could be a few days, even a week, away from the date 19 weeks and 2 days ago.
Since most women do not know when they ovulated the best way for medical practitioners to determine the age of your pregnancy is to use something that most women do know and that is the start of their last period. When you ovulate during a cycle can vary so by going by date of last period puts everyone on a similar timeline. The first ultrasound from 7 to 12 weeks can determine actual age of the baby very accurately and give you a very good estimation of due date.
your conception date should be pretty accurate considering u had an ultrasound. you shouldv'e been ovulating around June 21st.
To determine the conception date based on a fetus being 12 weeks and 6 days old, you would subtract that gestational age from today's date. Since gestational age is typically calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), you would subtract approximately 13 weeks (or 3 months and 6 days) from today's date to estimate the conception date. This would mean the conception likely occurred around 3 months and 6 days before today.
I will assume you are talking about 2nd June 2011. If so, it makes your conception date roughly September 8th 2010. However, this date could be wrong by a couple of days. It also depends on when you actually ovulated.
It depends on when the due date is, rather than when the baby was born. However, if that was also the due date it would make the conception date roughly October 28th 2005, give or take a few days. However, it's difficult to accurately say when a conception date is.
