A member asked:
Is u/s dating in first trimester more accurate that going by lmp? edd changed & going by ultrasound now...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: 1st trimester US is accurate within 5-7 days so if it differs from your LMP due date by more than that then the US is used. Also if you are uncertain about your LMP, most OB's will use that early US.
