I'm trying to track my pregnancy journey and calculate my due date. Based on your experiences, how do you usually figure out what month your baby was actually conceived in? Is it always straightforward?
I conceived in August and kept a journal of my symptoms. For mild bloating or nausea during those early days, ginger tea works wonders, but always consult your doctor if you face any heavy cramping.
In our times, we didn't have these fancy apps to count days. Just take good care of your diet, drink coconut water daily, and let the doctor do the regular checkups to check the growth.
With twins, everything is a double puzzle! My babies were conceived in November, but my belly grew so fast it felt like they had been in there forever, haha.
Look, your conception month is usually just two weeks after your last period date. Don't stress too much about the exact day, your gynac will calculate your due date perfectly during the first scan.
My doctor explained that the conception date is usually around the time of ovulation, which is about 14 days before your missed period. So if your last period was in January, conception most likely happened in late January or early February.
Because of my irregular periods due to PCOS, it was so hard to figure out the conception month. We only found out the actual month after the doctor did the dating scan, so don't worry if your dates don't match your LMP.
We conceived our miracle baby in October after a very difficult loss. It was an anxious time, so I would suggest just focusing on your health and letting your doctor guide you through the scans.
