How Can The Date Of Conception Be Determined?

I was sexually active April 28th. The week of May 2nd I had a period or what I believed to be a period, the bleeding was heavy and 6 days long as my cycle usually is. I was sexually active again on May 20th. I had no period after that besides spotting here and there. June 18th I found out that me and my partner were pregnant and was asked my last menstrual time period. I answered May 2nd. My due date is February 6th but I think the timing may be off due to conception dates. I wanted to know which conception date is most likely being that they are almost a month apart. I had a girl friend who had her baby a month and some days earlier than she expected because her due date was off and she was actually further along.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Date of your last menstrual period was 2nd may,so your ovulation period would be 15th may if you have 28 days of regular cycle. But ovulation does not occur at exact date so we will calculate here an appropriate date which would be between 11th-19th.you had sex on 20th may so most probable date of conception would be 20th may only.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
