These dates are estimates. Sperm can survive up to 5 days, making exact conception dates uncertain.

How Conception Date is Calculated

Conception typically occurs about 266 days before the due date, during ovulation. The fertile window spans about 6 days, with the highest chances on ovulation day and the day before.

Factors Affecting Conception

Sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to 5 days, while an egg survives only 12-24 hours after ovulation. This means conception can occur from intercourse that happened several days before ovulation.

Accuracy Considerations

Conception date calculations are estimates. The actual conception could have occurred anywhere within the fertile window, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact date.
