Suggest Ways To Determine The Date Of Conception

Question: Hi...my friend had a baby girl on May 6, 2015 with her husband...but I am wondering if this is possible because her husband was out of the country until the beginning of September 2014. I believe the child's original due date was May 17, 2015. Is it possible for conception to occur in September if due date is in May? Just curious.
Brief Answer:
conception would have occurred in 1st-2nd week of august.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
If the due date was 17th May 2015, the conception should have occurred in around 1st-2nd week of august and not in September.
Expected date of delivery is calculated by adding 280 days to the first day of last menstrual period.
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.
