I don't think period tracker apps are very useful, unless someone has been able to track their cycles for 12 months and has found they are on the dot at (whatever number of) days each and every time.  When I was a teenager my cycles were so exact that bar-charting them on grid paper looked like a solid block, but by the time I was 30 they varied slightly (a day or two or three).  Your cycles being "pretty" regular is not the same as exact, and your app is only as good as your cycles.  An app cannot predict if your ovulation will vary by a day or two some month.

Similarly, someone saying casually that you're "at 5 weeks" does not mean the same thing as 5 weeks 4 days or 5 weeks 6 days.  (Or even 5 weeks 0 days.)  They weren't being precise, and you need precision.

I would go in to an ob-gyn where they will take you seriously (not an ER, not a right-to-life place that gives free ultrasounds to convince women not to get abortions -- you need a real doctor's office) and get another ultrasound, either this week or the week after but no later.  It is possible that with your long-ish cycles, your boyfriend is the dad.  If you're at about 7 weeks when you go in, the ultrasound should still be useful for seeing this.  Tell them your cycles are too irregular to count on, and ask them how many weeks GA you are (that is the count from the first day of your last period, but in your case they will give you the count from two weeks previous to when you conceived) and especially ask them when your estimated due date is.  Put that due date into a conception calculator when you get home.  Since the two guys are pretty far apart, if your ultrasound isn't later than your seventh week, you should be able to get a pretty clear idea which sex produced the baby.

Just to check everything you are saying, did someone say that as of November 19, you were "5 weeks," and now as of December 15, you are 9 weeks 5 days?  Were these dates given to you by the same doctor?

Hi, Allure, did you get an estimated due date (from an ultrasound) when you went in?  Or just weeks and days?
