How Accurate Are The Conception Dates On An Ultrasound Report?
Question: How accurate are conception dates ?
Brief Answer:
Can be 90% accurate.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The accuracy of conception dates depends on the regularity of your periods. The dates calculated with the help of ultrasound scans done at least twice before 8 weeks is almost 90% accurate. It is difficult to exactly pin point the date with 100% accuracy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

So say the ultrasounds conceived dates where 25-29 what's the possibility it could be the 18 through the 22 with no regular period. But lets say the period ended on the 10th.
Brief Answer:
Less than 5%.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the period ended on 10th and ultrasound suggests conception after 25th- that means it was during the fertile period by dates. If the ultrasound for dating was done before 8 weeks gestation then the chances of conception from 18-22 are less than 5%.
Hope my answer is helpful.
