Dates wrong

I went for a private scan and I know the date of conception (give or take maybe 1 or 2 days) but the private scan dated me 8 days behind what I should be, and told me to keep an eye (whatever that means 😂). Has anybody had this? Trying not to worry! There was a heartbeat and everything else was okay

I went for a scan thinking I was 6 weeks but was showing 4 weeks at the scan, made sense as I was on the pill so my last period wasn’t really a period

@Denni ahh ok. See for me it doesn’t make sense because I know the conception date!

Implantation can take up to a week after conception. So it's about right. Copied the below of Dr Google 😂 Implantation typically occurs 6 to 12 days after ovulation, or around 10 to 14 days after conception. The exact timing depends on when ovulation occurred and if conception happened early or late in the ovulation window.

I wouldn’t worry about it. The scans give you a ballpark month that the baby is due. They use the size of the head to “date” it. My first had a big head so it totally screwed up his dates by two weeks!!
