What Are The Fertile Days Of The Menstrual Cycle?

According to the doctor my conception date was December 23 3015. My first day of my last menstrual cycle was December 9 2015. I m just wondering when did I actually make the baby. What days in December could I possibly made the baby. I do not remember having sex December 23 2015. My due date is September 24 2016.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Generally, a woman’s fertile window is the day of ovulation (usually 12 to 16 days before the menstrual period begins) and the five days preceding it, provided the period is regular with 28 days. Usually, the period occurs somewhere between days 10 and 17.
Irrespective of on which day you have conceived, gestational age is calculated from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period, since the exact date of conception is almost never known.
Hence, if you cannot correlate properly by taking last menstrual period, kindly take in to consideration the gestational age as suggested by ultrasound scan. The delivery might happen with +/- week from the given date as suggested by ultrasound scan.
Take care to follow all the ante-natal instructions properly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
