    Accuracy of u/s
    I had 3 u/s first trimester , 6w, 8w, 12w . All with a conception date of around July 2nd-4th . The confusion is I had one period I know for sure on around may 26, next was either implantation or lmp on June 18 , can ultrasounds mistaken my lmp on June 18 when really my lmp was may 26 resulting in 4 weeks off pregnancy
