Estimate your due date, conception date, and fertile window.
How to Use This Conception Calculator
Choose a method:
Enter your Due Date (if you know it), or
Select your Last Menstrual Period and cycle length, or
Provide your Ultrasound date and gestational age.
Press “Calculate.”
The tool will show you:Estimated Due Date
Date of Last Period (LMP)
Estimated Conception Date
Possible Conception Window (fertile days)
Current Gestational Age
Review results carefully.
Remember, this calculator provides estimates only. Actual conception can vary based on ovulation, sperm survival (up to 5 days), and implantation timing.
What Is a Pregnancy Conception Calculator?
A Pregnancy Conception Calculator is an online tool designed to help women estimate the likely date of conception and the fertile window during which pregnancy may have occurred.
Since pinpointing the exact day of conception is usually not possible, this calculator uses medical formulas and standard pregnancy dating methods (like the last menstrual period, due date, or ultrasound measurements) to provide the most accurate estimate possible.
Why Use a Conception Calculator?
Estimate conception date: Helps you understand when pregnancy may have started.
Identify fertile window: Shows the range of days when intercourse could have led to conception.
Track gestational age: Calculates how far along the pregnancy is today.
Support doctor’s advice: Gives you an easy way to compare your own records with medical estimates.
Why Accuracy Matters
Knowing your estimated conception date can be helpful for:
- Understanding your pregnancy timeline.
- Planning prenatal appointments.
- Satisfying curiosity about when pregnancy began.
However, remember that these results are estimates only. Factors such as irregular cycles, delayed ovulation, and implantation timing can shift the actual conception date. For medical accuracy, always consult your healthcare provider.
When Did I Conceive?
Many women wonder: “When exactly did I get pregnant?” Determining the exact day is rarely possible, but doctors and calculators like this one can provide reliable estimates.
Most medical providers calculate pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), even though conception usually happens later—around ovulation, when the egg is fertilized by sperm. On average, this occurs 10–21 days after the LMP, depending on cycle length and ovulation timing.
Because every woman’s cycle is unique, this calculator gives you a conception window (a range of possible days), rather than a single date.
How Conception Is Estimated
1. Last Menstrual Period (LMP)
Conception usually happens about two weeks after LMP in a 28-day cycle.
Women with irregular or longer cycles may ovulate later, so the conception window shifts.
This method is the most common but less precise if you don’t remember your period dates or have irregular cycles.
2. Estimated Due Date
If you already know your due date (usually from your doctor or a sonogram), we can count backwards to estimate when conception likely occurred.
This is often more reliable since it’s tied to clinical observations.
3. Ultrasound Measurements
An obstetric ultrasound can measure fetal development to estimate gestational age.
In early pregnancy (5–12 weeks), ultrasound is one of the most accurate ways to date conception.
Later ultrasounds are still helpful but less precise.
Fertilization, Conception, and Pregnancy:
Fertilization happens when sperm meets the egg in the fallopian tube.
Conception, medically defined, includes both fertilization and implantation of the embryo in the uterus.
A woman is considered pregnant only after implantation occurs.
This distinction matters because while fertilization happens within hours of ovulation, implantation typically takes place 6–12 days later.
