Eaten with guilt
lmp was 2-26. Had sex 3-8,3-9.Both times unprotected w ejaculate. I should have ovulated 3-11-3-15? Also had sex 3-23. I took a pos test 4-1. Then confirmed pregnancy said I was 6wk1day on 4-7. I'm freaked out thinking somehow the us was off and I got pregnant from the 3-23. Is that possible?
What do you think the chances of it being the guy from the 23rd? Im not enjoying my pregnancy because of this cloud of doubt

Early ultrasounds are reliable, not a thousand percent guaranteed but at 6 weeks 1 day would not be farther off than a day or two. It's not like there is a lot of individualized judgement, they click on the crown and on the rump and the machine makes the measurements.
You also didn't just do an ultrasound, you got a positive on a pregnancy test only a week and a day after the sex in question. It would be unusual to get a positive that fast.
It seems like you are kind of deliberately overlooking the medical evidence (the ultrasound) and the positive test being so soon after the sex. I am not sure why you would do this.
We see a lot in this community that women with guilty consciences over sex with the wrong guy often let their anxiety settle on obsessing over dates (even in the face of facts and evidence). Asking for help working out the dates, or stressing that medical tests might be wrong, are just red herrings, since doubt about ultrasounds is really not what is really bothering the woman. But the anxiety has to settle on something and it's easier to obsess over dates than to feel bad about having had sex with the wrong guy. Work on the real reason for the guilt, even if it takes a counselor to help you, or you will worry all through the pregnancy no matter what your tests say.

Thank you. You are right. What really is making me second guess is that I bled a little and thought I had started my period a few days after sex on the 23rd, but way after the 6-12 days that implantation from the 9th should have happened. So that also posed a question as to why

Women do get some bleeding in early pregnancy. Your doctor would likely shrug this off.

It doesn't sound like you got pregnant from sex on March 23 if an ultrasound said 6 weeks 1 day on April 7.

Are the ultra sounds ever wrong? Im just thinking of worst case scenarios and its driving me crazy.
Early ultrasounds are reliable, not a thousand percent guaranteed but at 6 weeks 1 day would not be farther off than a day or two. I mean, they looked at and measured your actual baby. What part of measuring a baby is wrong? It's not like there is a lot of individualized judgement, they click on the crown and on the rump and the machine makes the measurements. Are you saying you think the computer inside the ultrasound was somehow broken, and they didn't call you and ask you to come back for another scan because they didn't notice that all the ultrasounds that day were incorrect?

The question is, why are you willing to overlook medical evidence (the ultrasound) and the positive test being so soon after the sex, which are both proof that the sex on the 23rd didn't produce the baby, in order to obsess and feel guilty?

I'm sorry to keep bothering you, Annie. I just am wondering what could have caused what I thought was a period (for a day) that came way later than implantation time frame (6-12 days) it came around 15-16days later.
