Unknown due date?

I had sex for the first time with my now husband and became pregnant. I hadn't had a period in months for the fact that I was trying out the shot (contraceptive). I've had 3 different due dates.
Should I count 40 weeks from the day I had sex and expect that to be my due date? Can anybody relate?

Count 38 Weeks from the date you guys had sex would be my best answer

38 weeks from the time of intercourse would be closer to the right due date

Then I would count 38 weeks from the day you had sex since that was the likely time of conception. They count 40 weeks from your last period which includes 2 weeks before actual conception.

We only had sex that one time and soon after found out I was pregnant. My first ultra sound wasn't until I was about 5 months and she couldn't tell me an accurate due date because the babies genes take over and there's no way  of telling?

It depends on how many times you guys have had sex to determine that but go with you're first ultrasounds that should be the most accurate.
