Just got my positive and im trying to figure out the actual conception date. My periods are a little irregular so im totally lost with the dates. How did u all calculate this?
It's a very common question! Most of the time, conception happens around 14 days after your last period started, but your 8-week dating scan will give you the most accurate date.
Medically, unless you did IVF, it's hard to know the exact hour or day. Gynacs always go by your Last Menstrual Period (LMP) to calculate your due date.
It's always a bit of a guessing game! Usually, doctors calculate from the first day of your last period, so don't stress too much about the exact date.
Honestly, trying to calculate the exact date is a waste of time. Just use an online pregnancy wheel or let your first scan report tell you the gestational age.
I know how tracking every single day feels when you are anxious. Just focus on your health right now, and let the doctor's early scan give you the estimated date gently.
