Karen, thank you very much for your words of encouragement. Just one clarification though, I am not looking at a 4 day discrepancy but rather a 3 week discrepancy (i.e.: gestational age should be 11 wks, 3 days, but showing as 14 wks, 2 days.) It is encouraging though, to hear that you had a similar experience with no ill effects. Thank you!
