Just how old is this embryo anyway??

OK--this is a difficult question!

According to my LMP I am 9 weeks, 4 days pregnant.

According to my ultrasound measurements, I am 8 weeks 5 days pregnant.

Here's the confusing part: the ultrasound age CANNOT be the same as the gestational age, right? Because that would mean I was pregnant about a week BEFORE I even ovulated.

So what is the significance of the 8w5d? It isn't menstrual age, and it isn't gestational age either.

Just how old is this embryo anyway??

Thank you for any clarification!
