A due date is calculated from the date of
last menstruation date the formula:
Due date=last menstruation -
3months + 7 days
Conception occurs soon after ovulation ;
ovulation happens 14 days before the next
expected menstruation comes. If your cycle
lasts 28 days (as is true for most women)
you probably ovulate14 days after your
period which is also 14 days before your
next period is due to arrive. This means
that you might have conceived somewhere
between the 16th and 20th of February,
2007.
