How To Find Date Of Conception?

Hi. I am about 10 weeks pregnant and I need to know when my conception date was. I had a period in June and then again in July. Is it possible that I conceived July 14 if my period was on July 18? And how long are you pregnant for before the baby starts to grow??

Hi
Ovulation occurs 14 days prior to your menstruation.
This period is fairly constant and can be calculated only retrospective ly.
If your period had been fairly constant, then your ovulation period will fall 2 weeks prior to your expected date of menstruation
The egg usually remains viable for 24 to 48 hours.
So an act on intercourse around that period (3days on either side) will usually lead to pregnancy
Baby keeps on growing from the time of conception
Hope this answer helps you
Thanks
