Well its really hard not to worry with my history. Maybe im wrong but i was thinking if the us tech based if off a 28 day cycle when im 31 days and i o'd 4 days late then 5w2d would be right? I just pray all goes well with this one!

I had my first u/s at 8 weeks by mlp..but the u/s showed I was 7 weeks 2 days so my due date change..but when I went to my 12 weeks scan the u/s showed I was 12 weeks 3 days..so that mean when I had  the first u/s I wasnt 5 days off like the sono showed.i was really 8 weeks..
Dont worry when you go back in two weeks everything will be just fine..=)

since my miscarriage my cycles have been long....  Well weird i should say... Mine were 6 weeks in between mc and first cycle.. then 32 days then 27 then 37 days long.

I was tracking my ovulation and always felt i ovulated around the 18-19 CD..

When my doctor calculated my due date he used a 30 day cycle instead of 28.. but I knew my cycles were more on average closer to 32 since the mc anyways... Well when i had my ultrasound, I was only one day off... but if I would have been off by several if i would have used a 28 as a marker...

They grow differently..  Next time, you might be measuring ahead of what you would expect based on this ultrasound..

No it would add up to you being 6 weeks 1 day. However I had lots of repeat ultrasound with my first and one week she was measuring 6 weeks and then the next week (a full 8 days later) she was only measuring 6w3d instead of 7w1d and they told me that in early pregnancy ultrasounds can be up to a week off. She is now 3 1/2.

The tech said he is going to recommend a repeat ultrasound in 2 weeks. Ever since my last mc my cycle has gone to 30-31 days long. My lmp was 3-9 and i had light cramps on 3-23 and one painful cramp the night of 3-27. So if i o'd on 3-27 would that add up to me being 5w2d?

It's very possible you ovulated late. I'm sure they will be scheduling another u/s soon enough. I would wait at least another week or two at this point.

I agree with Michele.  If you O late, your LMP wouldn't be a good indication of how far you really are.  I am a late O'er as well, so my dates would be off too.

This is not uncommon.  Your dates could be off; especially if they are going by your LMP and you ovulated late that month.  Are they going to schedule you another ultrasound?  I would ask for one if not.  But if you are only measuring 5w2d, I would wait at least 2 weeks to get another one.  I have been able to see my babies by 6 weeks, but everyone is different.  It also depends on the machine they are using, etc.
