Ultrasound Measurements

I've been so sick for the past two weeks that I had to go see my doctor yesterday. He put me on bed rest for the next week to allow my body to adjust. But I did get to see the baby and it's heart beat! It was such an amazing and maternal feeling! I'm 7 weeks today and the baby measured .71cm yesterday but on my ultrasound photo it says 5 weeks 1 day ... the doctor said that's not always accurate but has anyone else gotten this? I've been so sick and it was nice to reach 7 weeks but the thought of stepping back two weeks worries me. I looked online and the measurement of .71cm seems to measure me about 7 weeks so I'm curious if any of your ultra sounds measured differently as well.
