If your last period was on the 8th of
October, then you were 7 weeks and 3 days
pregnant on the 28th of November.
Pregnancy age is determined by either an
ultrasound and/or by the calendar and can
differ. If we suppose that you were 4
weeks pregnant on the 28th of November,
then you probably conceived around the
15th of November. If we suppose that you
were 7.5 weeks pregnant on the 28th of
November, then you probably conceived
around the 21st of October. You should be
advised that pregnancy age is not counted
from the day of conception, but from the
first day of your last menstruation, which
is usually about 2 weeks before
conception. Paternity can be more
correctly determined with a DNA-test.
