How to Calculate Conception Date?

[happily single]

I have a friend who is 13 weeks pregnant. I'm trying to figure out the approximate date of concepction. I've tried google, but they all need the date of her last period, which I don't have.

Anyone want to help?
Thanks!

Correction!!
The date of conception would be 11 weeks ago. (I previously said 12...LOL)
The first week of pregnancy is the week of her last period.
Then ovulation usually occurs around day 14. (so approx 2 weeks after day one of period...)
HTH

The key here is "usually" a lot of women ovulate later in their cycle than day 14 so conception could have occurred later.

Of course now my curiousity is piqued on why you care when she conceived

Why not just ask her?

Me too...there could be a lot of tabloid-like possibilities here!!

kind of sounds like you're trying to figure out who the baby daddy is

do you have a baby daddy bar graph or flow chart in your never ending picture selection?

Yes, I am trying to figure out "who's the daddy". I know you guys love a juicy story, so here goes:

I was living with Mr. Wonderful, I broke up with him in May for about a week. He continued to live with me because it was a sudden and unexpected breakup on his point. He even said to me "I don't want to leave, I don't consider us broken up. I'm just waiting for you to decide what you (me) want". Fast forward several weeks (mid-june). I start noticing text messages from "Denise" I confront him. He claims he went out went out with her ONCE when we were broken up. We have a long discussion and we come to an agreeement. He's still adamant it is a one time thing.

Then, he starts "joking" with me that "Denise" is pregnant. It becomes a running joke with us. He tells me it does it to see how mad I'll get. I finally tell him "If she is pregnant we are over". He assures me she is not. But I notice a change in his whole attitude.

Well beginning of August rolls around, he leaves his phone in my car, I check the text message. It's from "Denise" stating "I guess I'll always have a piece of you with me forever". Hum, wonder what that could be?? I don't mention it to him, but we end up fighting so I bring up "Denise". HE GIVES ME HER NUMBER! So I call her.

YUP, SHE'S PREGNANT. SHE CLAIMS THEY WERE ONLY "TOGETHER" A MONTH AND WERE PLANNING ON MOVING IN TOGETHER. HELLO, HE LIVES WITH ME!

Don't get your panties all in a bunch, I promptly removed him from the house and got myself "tested". All's good. "Denise" and I have become friendly, although I am not questioning everything she says. I have no intention of getting back with Mr. Wonderful, but at least would like to see if the conception did occur when "Denise" said it did.

I would think she conceived sometime aroun June 15-25, just a loose estimate.

Is that what you were thinking?

I'm trying to figure out when all of his "joking" began. Honestly I swear it was early June, but according to "Denise" they didn't start seeing each other until June 1st. He's a fast worker I guess.

Right on both accounts!!
Yeah, I should have made the disclaimer that it depends heavily on her cycle, since every woman is different. (and this is the reason it's so dang hard for some women to get pregnant!).
But trmcmcguire's estimate sounds like a reasonable window of time for her possible date of conception.

Good luck, OP! Sounds like a sticky situation!!

I guess that that would depend on your definition of 'seeing'.

 

[bumbershoot]

I'm so sorry. That's not a fun situation to be in.


You said the texting started mid-June, then after that he started talking about how she's pg. The timing could be right. I know that my whole body started changing a week after conception; hubby actually could tell 2 DAYS post-conception. While there are some women who don't figure it out until they are 6 months along, other women have instant body-clues, so he could have been told that she was pg pretty quickly.

Since she was adamant that it was June 1st that they first meet, I just wanted to make sure she wasn't pregnant then. I know that when I would go for my 1st prenatal visit I was always way more pregnant than I expected and ex-hubby would like at me like "When did THAT happen" since he claims to know exactly the day the magic happened

A lot of "her" stories don't add up, including the fact she tells me she goes to the same practice I use, and when I mentioned that to my dr my dr told me that "her" doc left the practice 6 months ago. Um....oh, really?

What does it matter if she was pregnant before or after or during the time? That is just way too much drama from a guy that should always and from now on be an ex boyfriend. If she was pregnant before him, that's his drama llama to ride into the sunset.

I get alot of people confused on here so forgive me if I have again but are you the same poster that was having issues with some guy posting that he was single or made another page on a dating site? Is this the same guy? If so, you need to leave all that craziness and drama alone. Way too much emotional drama and some guys just can't be fixed.

 

[ChrizJen]

I agree with Tina...
I can understand if you just have a curiosity about the whole thing, but I would be SO done with him. Period. I wouldn't even worry about the when's and who's and what's...I would have to just walk away and not look back.

Yes, I didn't post this latest issue directly because of the last issue. He's done, gone, toast. I changed my cell phone number and threatened to get a restraining order. D-O-N-E!

I don't care when she got pregnant, it would just make this story all the funnier (?) if it wasn't even his. Donesn't matter either way. He obviously slept with her, while sleeping in my bed. D-O-N-E!

 

[Handbag Lady]

I think she is done with him and she's just trying to find out the depth of her "thank GOD I got out" position.

And I'm sure she's learning from this, too. When you break up with someone, they HAVE to get out. No sob stories, sorry!

 

[luvsJack]

Do you know the due date? If so there are several calculators that will give you the conception date or a range of what it could be. Just google: "conception date by due date".
