Do ultrasounds add two weeks to date back to (or close to) your lmp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That is how doctors count the number of weeks pregnant. We all count from the estimated start of the last menstrual period. All dates are estimates, which works fine in almost all cases.

I had my period on April 9th. My periods are fairly irregular by a week or so. My ultrasounds measure two weeks behind my LMP due date. I've had one done at 5WKS (too small to tell), 6WKS5DYS, & 19WKS. They all gave me the same due date by except 2 days.
