    Atomic or Anyone measure 4 days behind and turn out okay

    I had my 4th ultrasound yesterday and I was supposed to be 8weeks/7w6d by LMP but baby was measuring 7w2d/7w3d so 4-5 days behind. Heart rate was 130

    Has anyone had this happen before?

    I’m pretty sure of my ovulation as I was tracking and got a positive OPK CD 13 and that was the last time we had sex

    It’s very common for baby to measure a few days ahead or behind, even with knowing your dates. Babies don’t all grow at the same rate and once the placenta takes over around 8-ish weeks rates of growth will vary even more dramatically. Another factor is the ultrasound tech. The baby is very tiny and any variation in placement of the cursors can change the measurements dramatically.

    Yes it's not unusual. Please don't worry about any variations within a week to 10 days, as long as the heartbeat was there and everything else looks normal. usually these are down to Oing a day or two later than you thought (even with pos OPK, it could have been you Oed 2-3 days later and could still get preggo with that timing) and/or minor mistakes the tech made in measuring. They are dealing wtih millimeters of growth at this stage and don't always get it right.

    Thank you so much! Praying this is my rainbow . I have measured smaller at every ultrasound by 4 days so not sure if they’d measure wrong at every ultrasound? I know baby is so small though and it’s hard to get a good measurement.
    Does 130 HRT seem low for 7w2d?

    Thank you so much! I’m praying hard for this baby to stick!

    If you measured smaller at each one, it IS possible you implanted later than you thought or something too!

    I don't have too much advice outside of what everyone said. I was a mess when my last scan was suddenly two days behind after consistently measuring exactly with when I ovulated and was also told anything even within a week was good and any continued growth plus HB was the important thing. I can never be reassured (lol) so did tons of research. I know that any HB above 120 at this stage is perfect, and even slightly below that is fine!

    Thank you! I hoping maybe I did ovulate a day later since I was so stressed and maybe implanted late.
