Understanding Conception

When Did Conception Happen?

Conception typically occurs 11-21 days after the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) in women with regular cycles, around the time of ovulation. This calculator estimates your conception date and provides a range of days when intercourse may have led to conception, accounting for factors like sperm survival (up to 5 days).

Methods Explained

Last Menstrual Period (LMP): Estimates conception by adjusting for your cycle length, typically 14 days after LMP for a 28-day cycle. Less precise for irregular cycles.

Due Date: Calculates conception by subtracting 266 days from your due date, the average time from conception to birth.

Ultrasound: Uses fetal measurements to estimate gestational age, most accurate in early pregnancy (5-6 weeks after LMP).

Known Conception Date: Adds 266 days to estimate your due date.

Fertilization and Conception

Fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg unite in the fallopian tube. Conception involves both fertilization and implantation into the uterine wall, which marks the start of pregnancy medically.

FAQs

How accurate is the conception date estimate?

It’s an estimate based on average ovulation timing. Actual conception can vary due to cycle length, ovulation timing, or other factors.

Can I use this if my cycles are irregular?

Yes, but the estimate may be less accurate. Use the ultrasound method for better precision.

What if I don’t know my LMP?

Use your due date, ultrasound results, or a known conception date instead.
