Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Two weeks difference between FL(femur length) and BPD (Bi parietal diameter) is acceptable. IUGR (intra uterine growth retardation) should be considered if difference is more than 2-3 weeks.
However difference may be due to technical error or wrong date of LMP.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
