I measured 2w behind with my first pregnancy (ended in MMC), 5 days behind with my second pregnancy (another MMC) and 4 days behind with 3rd pregnancy (now a healthy 4 year old!)
I then booked a private scan and they measured me as 2 days behind so things caught up.
try not to worry!
I wasn’t tracking my ovulation, it wasn’t a planned pregnancy, although we wanted a second child and the timing in our family life is just right, so we are very happy! I do track my periods, and I was sure on 2 dates which we were not very careful DTD 31/5 and 2/6. I knew from 7/6 that I was pregnant as I had the very distinctive pregnant boobs start straight away, however I didn’t get a BFP until 16/6 which was very feint yet it was 2 days after AF due. So with all that being said it does sound like I ovulated late I think 🤔
Turns out I ovulate late in my cycle. Don’t worry x
I went for a scan thinking I was 6+1 but was actually measured at 5+2 so 6 days behind.
Went for another 9 days later was 6+4 so still 6 days behind.
Went for another at 8+6 but was 9+0 so then 5 days behind
THEN my last one should have been 11+1 but was 11+6 so my dates had caught up to being exactly right again!
I wouldn’t worry about it as they change all the time, got my dating scan on Tuesday should be 13+1 but I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up measuring further along again! Xx

Hello! Thank you for sharing this.
im going through something very similar. Was suppose be 6 + 4 but measured 5+6.
there ws gestational sac, fetal pole and everything but still couldn’t see heartbeat.
im very scared.
at this time where you measured 5 weeks, did they see a heartbeat or did that appear in second scan?
thank you so much

Hey, I am the original poster! If it helps - my baby is now coming up to one year old, everything turned out fine with my story. I know it can be very difficult to see a HB before 6w.

From memory I was 5w6d so very nearly 6 weeks which can make all the difference. They did see a HB.
Was wondering what happened.. I'm there and need reassuring
