My fiance and I did not plan on trying to conceive until after the wedding, but we miscalculated and wound up not being careful the day before ovulation. According to a fertility chart, I cannot take an accurate pregnancy test for at least a week, so my question is... when does conception actually happen? I've had alcohol and tobacco since... will that harm my baby (if I am pregnant)? (I already know I have to quit smoking, and fully plan on it prior to trying to conceive - but that is still months away, so I am fully aware of the dangers!) I've heard that next Monday is the "danger period" (according to a fertility chart) for when harm to the unborn child can begin, however, I've never been pregnant... how long does it take to 1) determine I am pregnant and 2) have harmful substances harm my unborn child...?
