It says my date I conceived was OCT 16 . Is that the actual day I had sex & got pregnant ? Or how many days does it take ? Im a little confused because I ovulated that week & had sex oct. 15th & the 12th as well. Which day is which. Anyone can help ?

I know I had sex for sure on November 7th , but got pregnant on November 9th . Since sperm lives up to 5 days , u could have got pregnant from sex on either one of those dates

Yes and no, conception Is when the fertilized egg Implanted In the uterus therefore makin' the baby. But, sperm can live Inside a vagina for up to several days so doesn't mean you had to have sex that day and got pregnant, the sperm could've still been Inside of you and that day Is when It actually penetrated the egg and made a baby.  So, It could've been either dates since you ovulate 2 weeks after your period. But, If you conceived on the 16th, It's more than likely that on the 15th when you had sex, the sperm stayed Inside of you and then you actually conceived on the 16th (when the fertilized egg Implanted In the uterus) . Not sure If I'm makin' any sense to you, but hope that kind of clears things up a bit.

Well,  that's why I put in the first paragraph.  If you're just idly curious,  you probably will never know the answer but it won't really affect your due date or prenatal care.

Best wishes.

If you're just kind of idly curious,  it really doesn't matter which day you conceived.  The two dates are close enough that your due date and prenatal care won't change.

If you had sex with two different guys on the 12th and 15th,  you won't be able to determine paternity by the calendar - that will take a DNA test once the baby is born.  Too close to call.
