Lets see... The doctor will tell you "7 weeks" based on the first day of your last period, BUT you usually don't conceive until 10-14 days AFTER the LAST day of your last period. So you have ACTUALLY been pregnant about 4-5 weeks. Somewhere around July 21st- July 31st.

To be perfectly honest, if you weren't tracking your cycles at time of conception, there is no way of knowing until you get an ultrasound to date the pregnancy (and the dating is most accurate when done prior to 20 weeks), but there are ways of making an educated guess, here are the guidelines:

1) Do you have regular cycles? (Within 1-3 days of each other in length from month to month). If you do, you can identify when you ovulate (generally) by taking 14 days from the length. For instance, an "average" cycle is 28 days, this is the date that your Dr.'s are basing the EDD off of. My cycle is 26 days, so I ovulate on day 11 of my cycle (day 1 being the first day of my period, not spotting, but full bleeding). Identifying your ovulation date is the best way to pinpoint a more accurate due date short of getting an U/S from the Dr.'s

2) The Dr.'s are basing the date on your LMP (last menstrual period). So that sounds like you have the first day of your last period on July 7. If you have a perfect 28 day cycle, you would have conceived on approximately July 21.

Identifying the average length of your cycles is the best way to narrow it down. If you have irregular cycles, nothing short of an U/S will tell you an accurate date.

From there, if you can find an approximate date, and you remember the days you had intercourse, that can help you narrow it down to the "exact" date.

Good luck!

Two weeks after your last period approximately (allowing a few days fluctuation for cycle length. Your length of pregnancy is counted from your last period, making you 2 weeks pregnant when you concieve, strange but true. So if you count back 5 weeks from 25th August you will have conceived around 21st July.

5 weeks ago. All these people saying 7 weeks ago obviously dont realize that the doctors tack on 2 weeks because they acually count from your last period. And they think they are so smart!!! It should have been about July 21.

When was your last period?

You would have conceived after you ovulated, following your last period.

Its impossible to pinpoint this. Ignore the thing about "its always 14 days after your period starts" it's NOT!! You're looking at a rough timespan of 10 - 18 days after your last period started. But it could even have been earlier or later, you can't be sure.

You are 7 weeks from your last period, so assuming your cycles are regular and you ovulated two weeks later, you are 5 weeks pregnant. Look back on a calendar and try to remember what day you had sex during that week.

2 weeks before your missed period....I would guess around the beginning of the second week of July. You have to think about when you engaged in some sexual pleasure and was possible for you to get pregnant. Anyhow you got pregnant beginning of July

5 weeks ago. They count from the 1st day of your last period. You proably ovulated 2 weeks after that assuming you have a 28 day cycle.

i know that Docs tell everyone their weeks based on the "first day of their last period." which is a lie. they just do that so everyone can be measured the same and most girls keep track of their cycles... and not when they had sex. so you got pregnant a little while after your last period ended. like 10 days later.

Probable day of conception would have been July 21st.

remember that the sperm can survive for 4-5 days after intercourse, and therefore we don't actually know when the sperm meets up with the egg.

So July 21st +- 4-5 days
