Q: Confused On My Due Date

I had 3 early U/S done. the first one empty uterus on Dec 25th, second one Jan 7th showing 6 weeks and 1 day( due date sept 1st ) and third Jan 12th showing 6weeks and 3 days ( due date sept 4th ) I know early u/s are the most accurate in determining your due date . my doctor wants to go with Sept 1st but when you minus 2 weeks from the u/s it shows a conception date of the 9th of Dec, and i had sex the 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 of Dec.

should i tell my doctor the thrid u/s is the most accurate because i know when i had sex, i mean before the 9th of Dec i had sex on the 29th of Nov.... and i doubt sperm could stay in my system that long- plus we never finished.

The u/s is more accurate than the date of your last period.
this is because you do not know exactly when in your cycle you ovulate, you could be an early or late ovulator.

Also you could have implanted early.
The u/s shows the gestational size of the baby. This is based on how long it has been developing.
Most women implant around 10 days after conception. This can occur as early as 6 days after conception, so if you implanted early this could affect the gestational age of the baby and there by based on the "averages" appear as though your conception date was the 9th.

Go with the u/s
