Its the way calculations are done!
The only certain date is when your LMP started (20th Jan), so that is the date the medical profession use. So today is Day 32 from your LMP. That is 4 weeks and 4 days (about 5 weeks).
If you did ovulate on 4th Feb, then you could have become pregnant on 13th Feb (day 25), so actually you might only be 1 week pregnant in reality, but the egg has probably been fertilised since 4th Feb (day 16), so it has been 16 days since 'conception'. That is 2 weeks and two days.
So the calculations are a about two weeks adrift.
However to take account of this, the medical profession work to 40 weeks rather than 38 weeks for 'full term'.
Hope this helps.
