They say I am 8 weeks and 2 days but the ultrasound says 6 weeks 2 days

[Annabelle17]

My fiance and I went to a pregnancy center yesterday to get the first ultrasound on our baby. The nurse said that I was 8 weeks and 2 days along but when she did the ultrasound, it showed that I was 6 weeks and 2 days along. We saw the heartbeat and the baby is about 6 mm long. The lady said it is probably nothing to worry about but this is my first pregnancy and I am only 17. We are very worried. I told the nurse that my periods were irregular and she said that might be the reason why the baby was small. She said that I might ovulate at a different time than expected, making me not as far along as we thought. Please help.

go by the u/s

When they originally say how far you are its just an educated guess. Then after the u/s they can give you a more definite answer. So you were probably just not as far as you thought. I really dont think theres anything to worry about.

I hope you are right. I'm just really nervous.

if there was a heartbeat and the doc told you everything was fine don't worry. if you are worried go to another doctor and request another u/s.
