LMP measuring week early in dating scan??

Is there any reason a lmp would measure a few days early in an early dating scan?? Does that mean I was pregnant BEFORE that lmp?

Dating scans can be off up to a week. Also, you could have ovulated sooner or later than you thought. It's nothing to stress over.

At 7 weeks 3 days it was about 2-3 days further ahead than my lmp, at 11 weeks 6 days it measured 6 days further ahead than lmp. Does that mean I ovulated earlier in my cycle than normal??
