if you need anymore information please let me know
ANSWER: Based on this information you gave me it does look like you conceived from your sexual encounter on June 4th. The first trimester gives a range from the measurent of +/- 5 days. In my opinion, it seems more likely that you got pregnant from June 4th, but if there is a question of paternity, a paternity test should be done to be 100% sure.
Take care

QUESTION: thanks, i appriciate your time.
one more question,
at my first ultrasound i would have been just 5 weeks 2 days if i got pg from the june 12th encounter, do you think i would have seen a 0.45 cm fetal pole with a heart beat of 132. that early? i measured 6 weeks 2 days that day.doct said conception was june 5th)from that u.sound also i read its only off by 3 days is that true?
thanks again
AnswerHello,
To answer your question, no you would not see a fetal pole with detectable heart rate at 5 weeks and 2 days, making that ultrasound you had at 6 weeks and 2 days very accurate for dating purposes. But if you would have waited until the 10 week ultrasound for the first one, there would be more of an allowable difference of 3 to 5 days. Still accurate enough for dating but you realize how even more accurate the 6 week ultrasound is.
It depends who you ask, or in my case who you work for of the 3 day difference versus 3 to 5 days. I would like to think a first trimester ultrasound is perfect to the very day with no difference at all! But I know that probably doesn't happen all of the time, which is why it is an estimation and should never be assumed as exact.
Any other questions just let me know!
