Using the "textbook" case of a woman ovulating on day 14 of her cycle, you would guesstimate that you ovulated Oct. 19, IF that were to be correct, fertilization would have occurred on that date or on Oct 20, but it could have occured from sexual activity earlier that day, or the day before, or the day before that...
Sperm can live for up to 5 days in a fertile environment, so if you're trying to figure out what sexual activity led to your pregnancy, you really can't (unless there was only the one time).
In any event, most women do not ovulate on day 14 of their cycle, so unless you were charting, taking ovulation tests, etc. and know when or even roughly when you ovulated, any guess/"answer" is a complete shot in the dark.
Who told you your estimated conception date would be between Oct 3 and Oct 17? Don't listen. You didn't conceive 3 days before you got your period. The person who gave you that answer is misinformed, to put it mildly.
Anyway, there are online calculators if you want to play around with the dates. For example:http://www.epigee.org/pregnancy/duedate.html and http://pregnancy.about.com/od/trimesterguide/a/pgtools.htm

It's "supposed" to be 14 days after the day you begin your period - so in your case it would be October 20th. But that is only if you ovulated exactly according to textbooks, a lot of women differ in their timing. If you have 28 day cycles it would most likely be the 20th. 30 day cycles it would be the 22nd, etc...

http://www.menstruation.com.au/periodpages/pregnancy.html is a free calculator that takes into account your normal cycle length as well. But I would say the 20th of October....
Maybe an early Halloween Party?
Congrats!

Well, if you are about 13 weeks pregnant, that means 13 weeks ago you got pregnant. Get a calendar and count back 13 weeks.

According to about.com , conception was 10/20.
