Answer
Hi Sylvia :)

I did some calculations of my own, with the information you gave me. Keep in mind, that my numbers are based with the assumption that your cycle is a regular one, and is a 28 day cycle.

According to your last period, its probable that you concieved roughly on March 31st, if your period was on the 16th, or April 1st, if your period was March 17th.

This also, gave me the due date of December 26th, so its identicle to the numbers the doctor gave to you, during your pregnancy.

Its VERY likely that when you had intercourse on the 29th, that it was at that time that you became pregnant. Keep in mind, that even though my conception date was on the 31st, or the 1st, that its still very likely. Sperm can live 3-4 days inside the female body. So, its possible that you easily became pregnant a day or so later after you had sex because you did have active live sperm in your tubes, looking for the egg.

I hope this has answered your question, and should you have further questions, or concerns, please dont hesitate to write back :)

Thankyou for writing :)
