Unfortunately my doctor kept the er due day which put me due may 2 by all my other ultrasounds baby measured To the due date if April 30. I myself just went with being the 30. My doctor is inducing me on the 21st cause he's big and I've developed back issues.

The earlier the more accurate.  If it doesn't match ur period it's not the ultrasound that's out it means u ovulated at a different time to wat they generally say. My dating scan was 12 days off wat i thought so i ovulated late

It partly depends on the type of ultrasound if they do it only on your stomach or if they do it vaginally. The second type is very accurate glat giving a correct due date especially if done at 6 weeks. That is the best timeto get an uultrasound done in early pregnancy.

Generally pretty spot on, or within a couple of days but the official ACOG statement is there can still (although rare) be a margin of error of up to 7 days either side, even at that early on when it gives the most accurate estimate.

Hcg levels dont tell you how far along you are.  The levels vary from woman to woman.  Every baby develops at different rates.  Ultra sound measures your baby and the stage of development to determine age.
