    Did your doctor do a dating scan at your first appointment? Usually those give the most accurate estimate of gestational age. If January 19th is your due date, you would have conceived around the end of April. It is nearly impossible to know an EXACT day because everyone ovulates at a different time in their cycle. If you did have a dating scan, it is not very likely that you are farther along than your EDD says you are.

  • I'm sorry this can't be a legit question.

    Are you asking this on behalf of someone else?
  • Sorry? What?

    Going to have to second that... What???
  • Seriously!? If you have a due date, then you must have more information. Either a) you have no idea when baby was conceived so you had a dating scan. Or b) you figured out your due date based on your LMP. And if you know your LMP you should have an idea of when conception took place.

    Please let us know if you have a legit concern, but this seems either to be a fake post or you are in the wrong Birth month board because I am due Jan 20th and I know you would have this info if you know your due date. Unless some internet quiz told you your due date then all bets are off.

  • I guess the doctor either came up with your EDD based in last period or size of baby at ultrasounds. If you didn't temp when you concieved then there really isn't a way to know the exact day. If you know the day of your last period you can have a window as to when baby was concieved. But unless your trying to figure out who the father is based on date baby was concieved doesn't matter as long as baby is measuring on track with EDD at all ultrasounds

    Lol wut??
    You most likely conceived when you had unprotected sex. And if you got pregnant you didn't have a period.
  • Unless you were charting your basal temperature there is no way to say exactly when you conceived. Considering a missed period is pretty much a universal sign a woman is pregnant, all of us got pregnant before our period. You are due January 20th, then you probably conceived very late April or early May. I'm guessing you may not be sure who the father is?

    I'm due Jan 6, and conceived around April 16, so for you, maybe sometime like April 27-29ish.
  • Either a Maury situation or OP knows someone with that EDD and is trying to figure out if she was cheated on?
  • @ccoleeman - yikes either way doesn't sound good for OP. I hope it works out for her!!

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_gestation - should answer at least part of the question.

    I hope OP comes back and clears the air a little bit. This intrigue is too suspenseful....

    Isn't that still a Maury situation or does it become a Jerry situation when another woman is involved?
  • But really she could be asking just because she's curious. I wondered this same thing a while ago, but I just made my best guess and let it go...
  • @maddisonwallace haha I was just thinking the same thing. My husband was out of the country all but one day that month so it's not hard for me, but if he weren't I'd definitely be curious which day, where were we, etc.
