Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Should your due date be 28 Dec 2015 then the date of conception is between April 2 to April 10, 2015.

2. Therefore April 5 is an approximation and your pregnancy has resulted from having sex on any day between April 2 to April 10, 2015.

3. Pregnancy happens about 24 to 48 hours after having sex to allow the sperm to travel in to the fallopian tube where it meets the egg to cause a pregnancy.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
