8 weeks pregnant and ultrasound measuring 6 weeks 2 days

So I am now 9 weeks 3 days pregnant with baby #1 but I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks. First the doctor gave me an exam and was asking me about my dates on my LMP and I told her I was sure of them.Then she did a transvaginal ultrasound and she said to me the baby was measuring 6 weeks 2 days and had that she could see a heartbeat. She didn't seem to worried about the baby measuring small she just wanted to see me in ten days so that we can get my due date right. To me it seemed like she thought my dates were off. But I know that they aren't. Now I could of ovulated late I wasn't tracking my ovulation. To me it doesn't make sense but it's been almost 10 days and I haven't had any bleeding or cramping nor have I had any my whole pregnancy. I did however after the second day of my missed period have a very faint line on the home pregnancy test. and really did get that big fat positive till 3 weeks later. Could this explain why I had such a faint line after my missed period? Have any of you had a happy healthy pregnancy that were in the same situation as me? And wish me luck tomorrow is the ultrasound and I am probably not going to get any sleep!

Hi Jordyn,

I had the same situation. I went for a scan and my baby was measuring 1.5 weeks less than my LMP. I'm now nearly 12 weeks and had a scan at 8 and 10 weeks and everthing turned out fine. Chances are you have just ovulated later. Stay positive, I know just how nerve racking these things can be. Good luck!

The same thing happened to me. I went in for my 8 wk check up and the baby was only 6 wks 1 day in size, but had a strong heart beat. I was told to come back in in a week to check and see if the baby had grown and mine had actually died the same day I saw it. I hope that things work out better for you.
