Pinpointing date of conception
Question
I had intercourse on April 29 – unprotected but my partner pulled out. I had intercourse again after that day almost daily and he didn’t pull out. I had a positive pregnancy test on May 31st. When do you think I got pregnant? I have a due date of February 11th.

I am assuming that you saw a doctor or midwife for that due date and that they went by the first day of your last menses. This is not the most accurate way to find date of conception. If that date is by ultrasound, which is more accurate, then you probably conceived around May 18th. It is hard to pinpoint the date of conception if you do not know the days you were fertile and there were many days that intercourse took place.
