Dear All,
I am so confused about the outcome of my dating scan which is +5 days of my calculated date.
I am sure I ovulated on day 17 and with the new date, it would shows a conception day on day 12.
I am absolutely sure this is incorrect as my cm and opk all correlate with day 17.
Can anyone explain how this could be true or if the scan could be wrong?
The baby measured 38.2 and that correlated to 10 +5 weeks. This cant be right! or can it?
Thank you!

Well, with a skilled tech the odds are slim that the ultrasound is wrong, BUT real world applications, sometimes the tech sucks, they are tired or hungover or hugry or they have to pee and so you have to take it with a grain of salt.
CM and OPK are great, but you have to view them as tools and not guarantees. When I got my daughter I had EWCM after ovulation and I know of several people who got pos OPK that didn't seem to correlate with ovulation.
Is there a reason why you're concerned (such as you think it may have messed up your sway) or are you just curious?!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Thanks Atomic!
I am pretty sure, she was focused when measuring. She did it 3 more times to reassure me but it kept measuring a tiny bit bigger?? So I feel she was diligent.
I am more in absolute denial that this is possible because on the day that I would have "conceived", I had no CM, and for 2 days after, also little or not fertile CM, so I just cannot see how thats possible to have ovulated then as a 5 days later I had plenty EWCM and +opk..... I was tracking my cycle for over a year and I just cant see how these dates could be accurate??
If its true, my sway will be better though!! as I had multiple BD's around my calculated O, and only 1 BD, 3 days before this "revised conception date".
Just as an FYI, I think I am having a boy regardless....according to Ramsey (which I really believe the accuracy).
Your thoughts?
Thanks as always xoxoxoxoxDue May 2017

I think the only way to KNOW when you ovulated is to have scans done! The u/s could be a little off though...each baby is different of course and they work off averages.

Because about that point after ovulating, your body has something called "the secondary estrogen surge" where you may see a positive OPK (false pos) and also EWCM, because your body releases a big burst of estrogen to maintain the uterine lining long enough for a pregnancy to occur.

Thanks Ladies! I really appreciate the responses because I am a fertilityfriend tracking addict and I just cannot get over what this due date means..... I ovulated with no CM and a negative opk. Its just so crazy to take in that I was so off!! I wrote notes everyday and watched everything like a hawk for a year!

Can you post your chart?
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

I also got pregnant with absolutely no visible CM one time. I was checking my pH 2-3 times a day and never saw one iota of EWCM and my pH never went up till I was already pregnant. Let me tell ya, I was SHOCKED at that ultrasound (because I was 3 weeks off what I thought I should be!) I was like "I thought it would look like a fish, but it's already a cute little baby" and the tech was like "uh, I think you're a little farther along than you think you are".

I have Oed on CD5 (and conceived a healthy baby to my knowledge) with no CM at all. So it's totally possible.

Another thing to keep in mind is that we typically only observe CM when there's enough to make it down to the vaginal opening. But often, despite being dry or seeing only non-fertile CM, there will be some (potentially fertile) CM right at/in the cervical opening, which is all that is absolutely necessary for conception. Since being on Vitex for most of the past year, I have discovered that despite seeming totally dry or only having a bit of creamy CM on my panties, often when I feel my cervix I can tell there's a fair bit of EWCM as it feels like loose jello/very thick EWCM. So I know now to never assume based solely on what I see when I wipe. Prior to Vitex and the LE diet I always had so much CM - whether creamy, watery, or EW - virtually all cycle long (except for a few to several days after AF, that's the only time of my cycle that I've always been dry, even in my teens & 20s), that I never thought to check at my cervix.
