How To Find The Gestational Age During Pregnancy?

I had an internal ultrasound last night and they said the fetus was 6 weeks 1 day old. The nurse and ultrasound tech gave me different answers as to how far along I am though. My due date is Feb 21 2011 can you help me figure out how far along in the pregnancy I am?

Hi there,
Calculate the date based on the ultrasound, its more correct and accurate. The date calculated from last menstrual period can be not as accurate as the ultrasound. Do not worry much and believe in the ultrasound for your due date. The early scans (before) 12 weeks are the most accurate way of estimating how far pregnant you are.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
