Q: Sex & date of conception

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 8th, 2008

I am due may 7. My current bf and I had sex between the 22 of July and August 11. On August 12 I started 'bleeding' not like a normal period as this lasted 2 days and was very light and spotty and not bright red like my norm. period. My last normal period was 5 July and lasted 7 days and heavy in the beginning (normal for me) up until the 5 or 6 day (normal for me). A day after the light spotting I had in August I took a preg. test and it came out a faint pos. then took another one and came out neg. I then had sex with a guy on August 18. He told me several times that because of something that happend as a kid he is sterile as ruled by a dr. (hope he didn't lie) and had been married 2x b4 and tried just to be trying and no kids so "dr. is right". Anyway, according to my due date I should have had a period August 1. I did not. I actually even was having sex with my bf that whole week I supposedly shoud have had it. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out when I had sex for conception. HELP!!

It is very difficult in your case to estimate the date of conception because you experienced irregular bleeding during July and August 2007. To calculate a baby's conception date, you need the precise date of the last menstruation . If you like to know the identity of the real father, you can wait until after delivery to perform DNA-testing.
