How it works

A conventional pregnancy timeline places conception about 266 days before the estimated due date. The calculator derives the same point from several dating inputs.

Why a window is shown

Biology and calendar dating are not precise enough to identify one intercourse date in most naturally conceived pregnancies.

Limitations
  • Conception cannot usually be identified to one exact day from calendar dates alone. Clinical and assisted-reproduction records may be more precise.
  • Health results are educational estimates, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Individual circumstances may require a qualified clinician's assessment.
