DUE DATE???

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I'm very sure on my last period. I just had a doctors appointment this week and when I had my ultrasound my doctor said the scan shows a 6 day difference on my due date. I'm confused about that because I'm 100% sure about my conception date.

The day you have sex does not mean that it is necessarily the day the sperm made contact with the egg. It can live In your bodies for days. Since drs still dont know exactly how long pregnancy should last and the science behind it is purely an average/estimate process there is going to be some inconsistencies. A dr usually wont change a due date over a week difference in growth or even two weeks but they have to go by baby since sperm doea live in you for several days up to a whole week even.
