Scan or Blood test
QUESTION
Dear Ms. Ultrasound,
4 Weeks ago my doctor did a blood test and it showed that I was 8 Weeks pregnant.In other words this week I am 12 weeks(3months).
Last week Monday I had an scan(the one for early pregnancies) and it again showed 6 weeks.
Which will be the most accurate as this is very confusing. It is my second baby. the different due dates is 19 August and 29 September.
Please, can you give me clarity?
Could Early Ultrasound Dating Be Inaccurate?
QUESTION
Dear Ms. Ultrasound,
I'm a pretty small person, I normally only weight about 110lbs and when I went in and had my first Ultrasound test done I was told was 24 weeks pregnant. Now this is odd to me as I'm very small and I'm not showing as much as I would think I would be at that stage of pregnancy. I was also told that I'm 56mm and I haven't the slightest idea of what that means and no one really explained anything to me at all.Is Early Ultrasound Accurate?
I had a ultrasound 2 days ago and it said I was six weeks instead of ten weeks as I originally thought. I have irregular periods. How accurate is this result?
Why Would I Be Measuring Big?
Dear Midwife,

QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
Hello again. I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago and you responded. I have attached that correspondence. I have some serious concerns regarding a follow-up u/s in which the radiologist found "Several indicators are of non-viable pregnancy or impending non-viability." I will attach a scanned copy of the report, but my concerns are:- Report says "Mean sac diameter corresponds to 5 weeks, 5 days gestation"
Anything Besides DNA Testing For Paternity?
QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I was wondering if you could help me. About a year and a half ago my girl friend and I were going through a break and I had a sexual liaison with an other girl. I call it that because I tried to have sex with her but couldn't maintain an erection; it lasted for about a minute and I stopped I did not ejaculate.
