How Accurate Are Ultrasounds? Posted: 01-26-05 13:37pm
I just wanted some opions on how accurate
ultrasounds can be. I wasn't getting
periods because I stopped taking birth
control so I have to rely on the
ultrasounds. The first one I had was on
oct 18th they said I was 8 wks 2days. I
had another on nov. 14th and I was 12
wks. I had another on dec. 15th and I
was 16wks 5 days and the last one on jan.
11th I was 19wks. They all match up so
is that reliable enough?

The u/s are prety reliable and as they are
all matching up seems like it's correct.

U/s are very accurate to the date. They
also do a blood test to match up dates as
well. The earlier the pregnancy the
better. And it seems like to me the dates
and sizes are matching up by what you are
telling us. So good luck and congrats.
Everything will be fine

I never got blood work done to see how far
along I am. Since i'm 22 wks, is that to
far along to get it done? Are the
ultrasounds alone accurate enough?

well yeah they wouldnt do blood work now
to confirm dates. But the u/s is accurate
enough. I had an u/s blood work and more
done and all the dates added up to te u/s.
So dont worry everything is fine and your
dates are very accurate.

when I was pregnant I was told they are
normally accurate within about 4 days. So
you could be 4 days earlier or later than
they estimate.

Did you have your baby already? And if
so was your due date accurate to your
ultrasounds? Also, thank you for your
responses. I appreciate it :d

the u/s was accurate with this one as well
so far.
