Wrong due date

So according to my ob I'm 22 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Ever since I had my first us and she told me how far along Iwas, I was skepticle. I didn't know when my last period was because I had took two rounds of the depo then stopped so she just assumed and put it at January. My first ultrasound said I was due November 7 which would have put my first ultrasound at me being 8 weeks I have googled 8 week old fetus ultrasound pictures and mine look different in everyone else's it's sort of just a blob still mine you can actually tell it's a baby. You can see where the head and belly obvi are and see the nose and such forming. Could my doc be wrong?

When you look up an "8-week pregnancy" online, you are looking at a pregnancy that the woman had her last period 8 weeks ago and then ovulated and conceived only 6 weeks ago.  Your ultrasound that gave you the estimated due date of November 7 -- what was the calendar date of that ultrasound?

Yes your doc can be wrong but they should have measured head-to-rump to get a more accurate due date. I think the most accurate measurements are before 13 weeks.  they should still be able to Gove u an approximate date based on how your measuring n anomaly testing
