Hello ma'am and welcome.

Calculation using the LMP method may not be accurate as we take into consideration the time since the last period when pregnancy could have occurred anytime between the last period and the one you were expecting. So a gestational age of 5 weeks could quite be possible and normal.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
