How to Work Out Date of Conception? Posted: 10-11-07 11:24am
I thought I saw someone on here a while
back explain how to work out the
conception date just by using your due
date from the u/s scan. Is that not
possible? I just want to know if I got
pregnant a few days before or a few days
after my birthday. Weird thing to wonder
about but I would like to know, if its
possible.

It is possible - but is not an 'exact'.
You can use Due Date Calculators and get a
rough estimate of when you may have
conceived. If you know when your period
was due (if you are quite regular) it
would have been about 14 days before the
period you missed having because you were
pregnant.
Your doctor can tell you the amount of
weeks you are pregnant from your
ultrasound (like 6 weeks 3 days, etc) and
you can work out from there by working
backwards to your last period.

Thanks. So theres no way to do it without
knowing my last period date, just from the
due date instead?

One more time:
Your pregnancy will be DATED by the
ultrasound. So it will say you are 6 weeks
3 days. Right? So, if on October 10th you
are 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant, count
backwards 6 weeks and 3 days and that is
when your period would have happened. Add
about 2 weeks and THAT is the date you
would have conceived on.
OR, you could do what Emma suggested on
the other board. There are 1 million
pregnancy calculators out there. Type in
your due date and it will come up with the
date you possibly could have conceived on
~ give or take the natural order of your
cycle.

Babyzone's is my fave. It has a lot more
to it, then just your conception date
(estimated, of course). But if you can
find it, you should try it out! Good luck.
