Brief Answer:
ovulation occurs 14 days prior to onset of periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to healthcare magic. I am here to help you. Ovulation occurs 14 days prior to onset of menses. So women you have a 28 day cycle will ovulate on day 14 and women who have a 30 day cycle will ovulate on day 16. In all likelihood in your case you would have conceived a week before your period.

All the best.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Could have been implantation bleeding not periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

In all likelihood what you experienced was implantation bleeding and not menses and you would have conceived by then. So unlikely that you ovulated early. The most accurate method to determine EDD and gestational age is by first trimester ultrasound by measuring the crl and not by last menstrual date. In your case I assume the EDD you are quoting is by seeing your first trimester ultrasound; so I would say this is more accurate than by calculating from your LMP.

Brief Answer:
Around the 18 September

Detailed Answer:
I think I had miscalculated the dates. As per your EDD, you most likely conceived around 18th September. So you most likely conceived a week after period.
