A doctor cannot tell you your conception date. Only you can figure that out. But you need to know how to tell when you are ovulating before you are pregnant.
If you don't know how to identify that you are ovulating before you have conceived, you are not going to really be able to figure it out very accurately after you are pregnant.
In order to answer you question one needs to know how you found out about your conception date. Was it information your doctor gave you from the dates of your last period? Or was it something you knew from being able to identify ovulation and knowing you had intercourse on that day. ↑ |
It was just from an early ultrasound that said I was 7 wks 4days and the doc said that would have put my conception date on or around _____.
I never had ragular periods so that is the only way they could give me a due date ↑ |
Those ultrasounds are considered to be fairly accurate too. I know they can get a pretty good idea of your baby's age by your baby's size and measurments with those.
One of mine, I was still breastfeeding the one before, and told them that going by my last period wasn't going to be accurate because I only had had one period since I gave birth to the earlier sibling a year earlier. I told them the conception date, but they insisted on going by the last period instead and told me I was therefore 3 months along. I insisted I was only about a month, but they kept telling me I was wrong. So I made up my own 'due date' because I knew when I conceived due to my Billings Method (natural family planning) practices.
Then when my pregnancy wasn't progressing like they thought it should be, they gave me an ultrasound and found out that I had been right all along. They then gave me a due date that was 2 days later then the one I had chosen. So those ultrasounds can be pretty accurate.
Well I guess then if they changed your due date because of another ultrasound, then their estimate of your baby's conception has also been changed. ↑ |
