6 weeks or 7 weeks

So I have question: I am pregnant for the first time. The first day of my last period was October 22, which puts me at 7w. At my last ultrasound, my doctor said the size of the baby gives me a due date of August 6th which puts me at 6w (at my first US we couldn't see the baby at all). Which one is official? I'm really asking because I'm counting down to the end of my 1st trimester to tell people so it am I waiting that extra week or no?

Ultrasounds are way more accurate than LMP. You are 6 weeks.

When I went for my dating ultrasound, I thought I was going to be 8 weeks. But baby was measuring 6 weeks 5 days. My originial due date was May 28th but they moved it to June 6th and that is what we are keeping. 

Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

Either way your due date will probably change since you are so early. I just read an article stating the accuracy of dozens of different dating methods. Until you get into your second trimester, no matter what you are going to be +- upwards of 6 days. 

I usually just tell people I am due in late July. It seems easier that way, especially since no one in my family has ever made it to their due day anyhow.

That's funny, I had the same thing happen! My first day of my last period was Oct. 21st.  But when I got my ultrasound they measured me at 6 weeks not 7.  So, I guess I am just going to go with what the u/s says and say my due date is now Aug. 7th.
