Answer

You may have had a longer cycle and become pregnant a little later than you thought. There is only a week between these 2 dates so it is not enough to worry about.

with my first pregnancy, my dates said I was due on September 23rd and my scan said October 4th. I knew I had intercourse on January second, so I guess it just took a while to implant.

I didn't get a positive pregnancy test until February 3rd, which would be about right.

Second time round my dates and scan were the same and I had a positive test on the day after my missed period.

The only time it really matters is if you had sex with 2 men a week apart and need a best guess as to which is the father.
