Date of conception calculation
August 22, 2012 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Dr. med. Frauke Gehring
Dear Sir or Madam,
My child was born on 16.02.2012 in the 40th week of pregnancy.
My question would be, when approximately was the conception day (conception period), or more precisely, could my child have been conceived between the period of 25.04.2011-5.05.2011?
My cycle is 28/7, last period 15.05.2011.
Please keep this question discreet and do not publish it.
Thank you in advance.
Good Morning,
Purely mathematically, everything would be correct if the last period was on 15.5. The child would have been born on 16.2. as expected.
However, the assumed date of conception does not fit, because it should have been after the last period, around the end of May, as fertile days are 10 to 16 days after the last period. Therefore, your child could not have been conceived between 25.4. and 5.5.11.
Best regards, Dr. Frauke Höllering, Specialist in Internal and General Medicine, Sexual Medicine
