Conception dates for pregnancy
by: Tamara

There are several ways to estimate your conception date for your pregnancy.

Some of them include the last menstrual period, ultrasound, and conception date calculators.

While the doctors will tell you that the ultrasound is the most accurate, it will only be so depending on the information you give him, such as the date of your last menstrual period.

In reality, unless you are trying to conceive, you may not know what your ovulation days are during the month.

These are the two days during the month when you ovulate. Your chances of getting pregnant if you have unprotected sex are very good.

There are many women, who for one reason or another, want to pinpoint the day they became pregnant.

You can find conception date calculators all over the internet. You simply plug in the date you started your last period and they will tell you the date you most likely became pregnant.

However, not every woman has the same cycle. For example, you may have your period every 28 days or it could be every 32 days. The conception calculators use an average to predict when your conception date was.

The ultrasound method will use a serious of measurements to determine how old your baby is. But if your baby is smaller or larger than average, these dates may be off too.

They will also use some developmental features that appear as your pregnancy proceeds.

While any of these tests for your conception date can give you a date that is close to actual conception, it is really an educated guess. Your date may be a day or two earlier or later.

I am one month and some days late. I saw my last mesus on the 7th / 8th of the month before last, and this last month I did not see it at all yet. No signs or symptoms except the tummy pains I am feeling every day. These pains did not happen to me during my first pregnancy. On the first one there were no signs until three months, so I went to do an ultra sound scan just to be sure.

Please, tell me if you think I am pregnant.
