Baby size and Menstrual cycle

Yesterday I met my doctor for the first time and glad to see my baby is growing up in uterus. It is supposed to be week 6, however doctor said embryo is a week smaller. So he counted as week 5. May I ask do anyone know is the menstrual cycle affect? My menstrual cycle is 32 days

Maybe the ovulation is later hence conception is later. When I went for my first appt, I was suppose to be 6 week too but doc measured as 5 w 3 days. 1 month later, measure 11 weeks 1 day so a few days difference only from when I count using lmp. Not to worry. Sometimes the baby is too small to measure they can only estimate how old the baby is. Wait for your 2nd appt for a clearer pic and edd!
