You likely ovulated and conceived around November 15. So sex between about Nov 10 and Nov 16 got you pregnant. At 6 weeks, this is very accurate (about plus or minus 2 days).

Take care!

Conception does not have anything to do with LMP, only with ovulation.

With an ultrasound they look at the baby's growth and the development of the internal organs. At 6 weeks (plus or minus 2 days), they will see the heart for the first time. These developments take place according to a very strict schedule in early pregnancy (frst trimester and up to week 1Cool. For this reason early scans are very accurate (week 6 to plus or minus 2 days, week 18 to plus or minus 7 or 8 days).

The baby's age given to you is a gestational age (GA). It is 2 weeks longer than the fetal age (FA). So if you had perfect 28 day cycles with ovulation on day 14, counting backwards the GA will match your LMP date exactly and FA will match your ovulation exactly.

Since our cycles are very seldomly perfect, GA just counts back to some arbitrary day close to your LMP. GA - 14 days (the fetal age) will however always count back to around ovulation and conception.

Once again - You likely ovulated and conceived around November 15. So sex between about Nov 10 and Nov 16 got you pregnant. At 6 weeks, this is very accurate (about plus or minus 2 days).

This is based on your 6 week 3 day ultrasound and it is 100% certain that you conceived from sex in November, not October. If you still have any doubts and you were involved with more than one partner, get a paternity test done.

Best of luck.

Also I had a friend who was 7 weeks and had a d&c abortion they said her pathology report was 7 weeks just like the ultrasound. Are those 2 supposed to match up and do they mean the same thing.
