4 weeks... or 5?

This might seem trivial, but I'm a little confused.

I just got my BFP yesterday.  Because I was tracking ovulation, I know that I ovulated at approximately CD 20... not 14.  If I go by my LMP, which is what I understand Dr's do, I would be 5 weeks today.  However, I know better... I'm really only 4w2d.  

Should I make up a fake LMP date to jive with my late ovulation?  Or am I really 5w?

Thanks for any help/advice you have!!
