Dating scan put me ahead by nearly 3 weeks!!!

Hi everyone, I know when I conceived this baby as I know when I ovulated and only did the deed with my hubby the once,so I know I conceived on the 23rd of January which means I'd be 13 and a half weeks....but my dating scan says I'm 16 weeks today, which is impossible as I never had sex then, so would i be able to go for a gender scan this week because of the dating scan dates or too early because of when I conceived

Thankyou in advance

  • Hello :) congratulations to start off with :):).

    when I worked out my dates to start off with I was due April 29th (Today!!!!) But at my 12 week scan the sonographer change my date to may the 14th!! :( But Ever since then baby has been measuring over by 2 weeks makes no sence!!! Could talk to your midwife about it, you may just be carrying a small baby :) 

    Hope all goes well xxxx

  • The dating scan is based upon baby's measurements  (baby must have long legs to be moved forward so far) & this is the date that everyone will go by...so yes, you can consider a gender scan if you have been dated 16wks. X
