Had an ultrasound today and I am 7 weeks based from when i Ovulated. My ultrasound said i was 6+3 which doesnt make sense as i am 100% positive of when i ovulated give or take a day and 6+3 mans i got a pos test at 4 DPO. Also the heart rate was 132 is that too low?

I had early scans and the dates were off. It's hard to "measure" baby at that stage hence why u have to wait for your 12week dating scan when it is more accurate !

my babies heart beat was 135 at 6 weeks 5 days our dr. said that was normal, yours sounds just fine, and remember it takes 3 days for the egg to enter the uterus and another 3-6 days after for implantation to happen (so up to 12 dpo to actually become pregnant) so being a few days off is always possible the ultrasound just measures the sac to determine gestational age if you took a few days longer than u expected to implant your date could easily be off .
good luck & congratulations !
