How Your Conception Date Is Calculated
This calculator uses the standard conception calculation method:
- Conception typically occurs 11-21 days after the first day of your last period
- For average cycles (28 days), conception occurs around day 14
- Fertile window is the 5 days before ovulation and ovulation day itself
- Pregnancy duration is 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last period
- The calculation adjusts for your specific cycle length
Note: Actual conception date can vary based on individual biological factors.
