The Pregnancy Conception Calculator estimates the date of conception based on the expected due date of the pregnancy, last period date, or ultrasound date. The date of conception is the day on which a person's baby is conceived. The calculator also estimates a possible range of days during which sexual intercourse might have led to conception based on sperm being viable for 3-5 days within a woman's body.
When Did I Conceive?
When exactly did I get pregnant? Many women often ask this question when trying to figure out the exact day their pregnancy began. Often, gestational age, or the age of the baby, is calculated from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period. However, in reality, the baby was not conceived until ovulation and the fertilization of the egg, which usually happens at least 10 days after the first day of the mother's menstrual period.
Because there are many factors surrounding conception, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact date of conception. This calculator helps to estimate the date range of real conception and a possible range of days during which sexual intercourse might have led to conception. There are a few methods that can be used to estimate the conception dates:
Last Menstrual Period
Conception usually occurs around 11-21 days after the first day of the last period of a woman who has a regular period. The estimation of conception date is based on this, but is rarely ever exact since it is difficult to know exactly when ovulation occurs. Estimating conception date can also be more difficult for women who have irregular periods, or for those who don't remember the first day of their last period. In cases like these, one of the more accurate ways to estimate gestational age is through the use of an ultrasound.
Due Date
An estimated due date, usually based on a sonogram, is typically obtained from a healthcare provider during a prenatal visit. Based on this due date, a range of possible conception dates can be calculated.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound, on a basic level, uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures. An ultrasound used in the context of examining the progress of the fetus in pregnant women is referred to as an "obstetric ultrasound." This is done in real-time and is a fairly standard procedure that is part of prenatal care in many countries, as it can provide information about the health of the mother and embryo/fetus, as well as the overall progress and timing of the pregnancy. Ultrasounds can be used to measure a fetus as early as five or six weeks following the mother's last menstrual period. It is a more accurate measure in early pregnancy than it is in later stages. Ultrasound can be used in conjunction with estimates based on the last menstrual period to determine a more accurate gestational age.

Are you expecting? Use this pregnancy due date calculator to find out when your baby is due. Your health care provider will confirm the baby's gestational age with a first trimester ultrasound.
How is my due date calculated?
Conception Date: If you have been using an ovulation predictor kit or tracking your ovulation you may be able calculate your due date based on the precise date of conception. In order to do this simply count 266 days, or 38 weeks, from the conception date to find your estimated due date.
Last Period: This is the most common way to calculate your estimated due date. To calculate, count 40 weeks, or 280 days, from the first day of your last menstrual period.
IVF: If you conceived through IVF, you can calculate your estimated due date using your IVF transfer date. If you had a day-three transfer, count 263 days from the transfer to your estimated due date, and for a day-five transfer, count 261 days.
