Your cycle is to long to get pregnant while your on your period. Like me mine average anywhere from 28-35 days I had sex the day before I started my period stopped then started again the day after by the 6th day after my period I conceived so my period ended on the 2nd of July I conceived on the 8th of July now I'm 13 weeks 1 day and due April 14. But either way congrats

You can also take your due date and subtract 266 days and that should be your date of conception

They usually date your "date of conception" 2 weeks after your lmp, so if your 1st date of your last period was July 21st, add 14 days and you're at Aug 4th, possible date of conception. Its nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact date you conceive though BC sperm can live up to 3 days inside the body.

They measure the length of the baby's femur bone I think. I was told basically all babies measure the same at the beginning and the farther into pregnancy you go the more they can stray from averages. So an ultrasound done earlier should be quite accurate in dating the baby. The later you go, it is just approximate.

It makes sense if you had sex on the 4th sperm lives up to five days i believe. so it could be about a day off...makes sense

I said they weren't 100% accurate. With my 1st daughter they told me my baby was measuring 10lbs but I gave birth to a 7lb 6 once baby.

To be honest why does it matter? I always measured ahead of what I really was in ultrasounds. Like I would be 7 weeks but I would measure 8 weeks. Ultrasounds aren't 100% accurate.
