How the pregnancy conception calculator works

Conception usually happens around ovulation, roughly 14 days after the first day of the last period in a 28-day cycle (days 11 to 21 across normal cycles). Working back from a due date, conception is about 266 days (38 weeks) earlier.

Because sperm can survive up to 5 days and an egg about 12 to 24 hours, the intercourse that led to pregnancy most likely happened in the 5 days before ovulation or the day after.
