If I understood correctly you are measuring off by only like 3 days right and from my experience this pregnancy that is no big deal. 

At 6 weeks I had an ultrasound that measured 8 days off with just gest sac and was told to come back in 10 days to check if there was growth.  After the 10 day wait I saw baby and heartbeat and was 5 days off.  At that appt I was overwhelmed with joy that there was a baby since I figured the worst. I informed  the tech that I know the days I had intercourse and this baby was concieved with magic sperm that lived for days.  Well stupid me she said there is still a 5 day degree of error in first trimester ultrasound.  I honestly thought it was almost an exact science.  So anyway I continued to worry about being off by a few days and I had no pregnancy symptoms so my doc let me just get another ultrasound today and despite lack of symptoms initially measuring small etc I saw a nice baby with a strong heartbeat and now measure only 4 days off. 

Well that was a lot of babbling but long story short.  I did a lot of research during the 10 day wait I had and found that 1 week off in measurements is nothing to worry about and very common.  I think having seen that heartbeat today was fabulous news and I hope you will allow yourself to relax.  I know how hard it is though too, I had a miscarriage in August.  Good luck!!
