Yes: Ultrasound is most reliable at 6-7 weeks when it predicts gestational age to within 5 or 6 days. As the pregnancy progresses, accuracy of ultrasound gets poorer. At 18-22 weeks, ultrasound is accurate to about 10-12 days. In the third trimester, ultrasound dating can be off by as much as 3 weeks.
