It's for your BF.

Thank you so much! You've been a really good help!

The ultrasound sees the actual embryo.  Once the embryo is measured by the ultrasound, it doesn't matter when your last period was.  It could have been last year.  They look at the size and development markers of the embryo and give a two-week margin from when it would have started, so they can start the count at an assumed first day of last period.

Even if they were telling you that the baby's size adds up to conception 6 weeks ago (which they weren't, they were telling you that it added up to conception 4 weeks ago, but anyway ...) even conception 6 weeks prior to October 3 does not lead you back to July 22.

But I didn't remember my last period. But it was somewhere between the end of July to the beginning of August.

Don't worry, honey, you conceived around September 5.  When a doc or ultrasound tech tells you a number of "weeks pregnant," he or she is giving you a figure that counts back to the first day of your last period (or a calculated first day of last period) not to your assumed conception date.  If you were told from an ultrasound on October 3 that you were around 6 weeks "along" that would be around 4 weeks since conception.  If your last time having sex with the other guy was in July, he is not in range at all.

[Danielle276]

That was the first and last time

[Danielle276]

It was in July. I cannot remember the date! But it was some where between July 10-22nd

[AnnieBrooke]

So far, it sounds like your boyfriend's.  When did you last have sex with the other guy?  Was it late in the month?

[Danielle276]

A transvaginal ultrasound

[AnnieBrooke]

I mean, by someone looking at a little cardboard wheel and asking when your last period was?  Or, by an ultrasound?

[Danielle276]

They said you're about 6 weeks pregnant. And I'm pretty sure after I had sex with the other gentleman I had a period

[Danielle276]

I went to the hospital.

Hi, Danielle, how did you find out with such specificity that you are 6 weeks pregnant?
