That is quite common: As women don't always ovulate on exactly day 14 of their cycle. sometimes it can be 5 days earlier or later. As long as your Baby looks fine on ultrasound, and you are not having vaginal bleeding, especially if you have nausea and other symptoms of pregnancy, everything is likely totally normal. Don't forget to take your folic acid, vitamin D and your prenatal vitamins. Stay hydrated & get fluvax

Depends: I would consult your doctor to see how they determined your due date. If you are pregnant they will use your first know last menstrual period. If not known ultrasounds are used to determine the age of the baby and due date. Best to consult your doctor but I would use the first known last menstrual period date.
