ovulation dates/ age of fetus not matching up

[w108akc]

I am about 6 weeks 2 days pregnant according to an ultrasound I had yesterday. According to my last menstrual period I would be 7 weeks 3 days. I have had 2 ultrasounds and the baby is growing and we saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks one day but my hcg levels have been high, but not doubling. I also knew i was pregnant from a hpt at barely 3 weeks if i am really only 6 weeks 2 days. Could this be a miscarriage in the making or is it possible the baby is measuring small but I am really 7 weeks? I'm trying not to worry but I am. Any similar situations?

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!! I would go by what the ultrasound said and not worry about when you ovulated. As long as there was a heartbeat than you should be in good shape. Good luck with everything =)

Well usually early ultrasounds are right on time when it comes to age. It is really hard to know when exactly when implantation occurred and some babies do grow at different rates. If you saw the baby and the heartbeat then I would definitely go with that. Keep in touch with your doctor just in case you have any unexpected problems =) Congrats on the pregnancy!
