Just found out im pregnant and now trying to figure out which day it actually happened. My cycles are bit irregular so im confused. How do u even calculate this properly?
It is actually very hard to tell the exact day of conception. Even during my C-section recovery, my doctor told me that medical dating is based on your last period date, not the actual day of intercourse.
I remember trying to calculate the exact night we conceived! It felt so magical to think about, but usually it happens around your ovulation time, which is 14 days after your period start.
Since I had PCOS, my cycles were always irregular, so pinpointing the exact day was impossible. Doctors usually count from the first day of your last period, which is the standard way to calculate.
Don't stress too much about finding the exact date, dear. As long as your baby's growth is normal on the ultrasound scan, the exact day doesn't really matter.
You can never know the exact day unless you did IVF. Just use an online pregnancy calculator with your last period date to get a close estimate, it's that simple.
