I can only agree with everyone else - you never can be sure how far along you are until you get the scans done - the sonographer is usually the only one who can tell you how far along you actually are! They can tell just by measuring the fetus.
Don't be too concerned though, my sonographer told me i was only 5 1/2 weeks pregnant when we had the scans done, she knew just by the size of it.
If you're not 2 months along yet, then there's no way the baby can have the same growth as someone who is already 2 months along.
Don't stress, the more you stress, the more difficult things are - it does the baby no good when you stress like that - just relax & wait a month for another scan, then you can see the size difference for yourself next scan!

You're most likely not quite two months. If your last period was 55 days ago, you're probably closer to a month and a half. Ovulation (the time you're most likely to get pregant) occurs roughly 2 wks after your last period and lasts for at least two weeks.
Blessed Be

Congrats on your pregnacy. SOrry that you are having complications. Try not to worry too much, it could just mean that you are not as far along as you had thought or that maybe your baby will play catch-up here soon. Not all babies go by the book, so don't worry too much. If your doc isn't worried, you shouldn't be!

I have not heard of anything like this, but maybe the person who responded before me has a point just may not be that far along. Hopefully they can get you in again for another ultrasound to get to the bottom of this. Please do keep us posted and I wish you all the best during this stressful time
