Understanding conception...?

Question

i started my LMP on January 1, 2008, and i was given a due date of October 7th, 2008, and at my 20 weeks u/s they still confirmed i was due October 7th!!! :) I have researched it and it says my date of conception was January 15, 2008 but i don't understand what that means, did i have s*x/get pregnant before January 15 or after???

Answer 1

Well since it takes the hero sperm to reach the egg in about 4-12 hours and then all that digging to break through the membrane. I would say you had s*x on January 13th or 14th and he is the lucky guy.

You seem to have a problem with the date important thing so I hope you know who was doing you those two days....

Good luck

Answer 2

you didn't ovulate until about 2 weeks after your LMP and that's when you got pregnant. it wasn't necessarily that exact date. sperm can live for up to 7 days usually not that long so you had s*x somwhere around then and got pregnant

Answer 3

I don't know I just wanted to say hi & congrats! Love, S.

Answer 4

noooooooooooooo

Answer 5

the 15th is the day the sperm and egg fused and it takes the sperm a while to travel to the egg and the egg to get fertilized not sure on how long but you would have probably had s*x before the 15th

Answer 6

conception occured around the 15th wich means your egg implanted itself in your uterus. not necessarily the day you had s*x though. You would have had s*x probebly a couple days prior to ovulation.  

Answer 7

Janurary 15 would have been the day that the sperm went on a date with the egg and produced a mini you :o)

Hense Jan 15 is the day you had s*x and got pregnant

Good luck

:o)

Answer 8

date of conception means the day that the egg and sperm unite.  so most likely you had s*x on or just before january 15.  hope that helps and congrats

Answer 9

You would have gotten pregnant on January 15th, they just add two extra weeks from the first day of your last period. You have actually been pregnant for two weeks less than the amount of weeks you are now. Like if you are 22 weeks (just an example) you have really been pregnant for 20.

Answer 10

You would of conceived on or around the 15th of Jan. It all depends on what day you ovulated. Unless you were charting or keeping track of things, there is no way to be 100% sure of date.  

Answer 11

First off you need to remember the date is only an estimate. You can ovulate any time of the month and conceive. Normally it happens about 14 days from day one of your period. But this is not always the case. I got pregnant 7 days after the start of my period. I didn't even think it was possible until the doctor told me it was. This is my third child so we are excited but shocked. So you got pregnant around the 15th. It could have been a little before or after. There is no way to know for absolute sure. Sperm can live inside a woman for up to 5 days so you could of had s*x and then ovulated several days later and then conceived.
