Well, Kim, having fears is not a sign that you know that something is a certain way.  Your fears are independent of what is real.  

In this forum, we often see  "What if the --(scan, technician, doctor, DNA test) -- is WRONG and the average woman who misunderstood everything her doctor said and wrote about it misleadingly on the Internet is RIGHT???"  This is a question of general anxiety, not a question of rational fact.  

Interestingly, almost nobody who ever asks this question goes on to learn that the ultrasound or doc was wrong.  Please try to relax and trust your doctor and your dates.

No, the pregnancy could not have been from early or mid-December if you had a scan February 20 that told you 7 weeks 6 days.  It sounds like you conceived about a month later than that, i.e., around January 10 or 11.  I assume that in the last many weeks you have asked your doctor about this and used conception calculators, and they have all told you this same thing.  So the question is, why are you depressed and scared out of your mind and not bonding with the baby and not eating and barely sleeping?  This all wouldn't be from doubt about the date, given that you had an early ultrasound and presumably understood what it said.
