When did I conceive?
It is challenging to know the exact date of conception. It is difficult to determine when conception took place because sperm can survive in a woman's body for up to five consecutive days. It is not art.
Women can conceive anywhere between 11 and 21 days after their last period. The timing of ovulation can vary from one person to the next. Due dates are determined from the first day of the previous period, not the date of conception.
Although it can be confusing, this method has been accepted as a standard for measuring pregnancy and calculating the due date. The due date is usually set at 40 weeks from the day the woman has her last period.
Pregnancy symptoms
These are some of the most apparent signs and symptoms that may indicate pregnancy early on:
You might also experience other signs and symptoms during your first trimester, such as:
These symptoms and signs aren't just for pregnant women. These symptoms can show that you are getting sick or that your period may soon begin. You can also be pregnant even if you don't experience many of these symptoms.
If you have missed a period or noticed any of the symptoms above, it is a good idea to take a home pregnancy test. Your health care provider should be contacted if your home pregnancy test comes back positive. Prenatal care can be started as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed.
Due date
The estimated 5% born on the due day of birth is only a tiny fraction. Each baby and each mother are different with their birth schedules. We can only provide a general guideline for what they can expect.
The date of conception may be considered the ovulation date because the human egg can fertilize for 12 to 24 hours after ovulation. The ultrasound date of ovulation can be determined with the same accuracy as the ultrasound estimate of the gestational year. Therefore, it is impossible to decide on the exact date of conception as in vitro fertilization.
Additionally, a woman may be more likely to get pregnant if she has had sex before ovulation. However, if she has sex for at least five days before ovulation, conception could also occur from live fertilized sperm.
Estimated due date
The estimated due day (also known as EDD, or EDC) is when labor spontaneously begins. Add 280 days (9 months and 7) to the first date of the last menstrual cycle (LMP) to calculate the due day. This is the method that the "pregnancy wheel" uses. The accuracy of this method's EDD is dependent on accurate recall from the mother. This assumes regular 28-day cycles and that conception and ovulation occur on day 14. LMP can overestimate the length of the pregnancy and may lead to errors of more than two weeks.
For cases in which the date and time of conception are known, such as when in vitro fertilization is used, the EDD can be calculated by adding 266 additional days to the date and time of conception.
Ultrasound uses the fetus's size to determine the gestational time (the amount of time since the last period). The accuracy of the ultrasound estimation of the gestational date varies depending on the gestational period. "Ultrasound measurements of the embryo and fetus during the first trimester (up to and including 13 6/7 week gestation) are the best method to establish or confirm the gestational ages." The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada suggests that the earliest ultrasound should have a crown-rump length of seven weeks. (Or 10 mm).
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that ultrasound-established dates should take preference over menstrual dates when the discrepancy between ultrasound dating and LMP is:
Ultrasound
An ultrasound can also give you an accurate estimate of when your baby will be due and how long it will take to get there. Ultrasounds are painless and straightforward medical procedures available at doctors' offices, OB/GYN Clinics, and other medical providers.
An ultrasound can help determine the gestational year. Ultrasounds can be most accurate between the 8th-18th week. Even women who don't have periods can use an ultrasound to determine how far their pregnancy is.
