Calculate Your Conception Date: A Simple Guide


Question
I was born on august 16 1955 and not premature. what was my date of conception?

Answer
Assuming that you were born at exactly 40 weeks gestation, and your mother ovulated on day 14 of her menstrual cycle, the date of conception could have been November 23, 1954.  However, because normal gestation ranges from 37 to 42 weeks, and because most women do not ovulate on day 14 of their cycle, this date could be off by as much as a month or more.
