Free conception date calculator to estimate when you conceived from your due date or last menstrual period, plus your fertile window.
Tap a scenario to fill in the dates and cycle length.
These dates are estimates based on average cycle timing, not medical advice. Confirm pregnancy dating with your healthcare provider.

Wondering when you conceived? This calculator estimates your conception date and fertile window based on your due date or last menstrual period. Understand when pregnancy likely began.
Conception occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg, typically within 24 hours of ovulation. Ovulation usually happens about 14 days after the first day of your last menstrual period (in a 28-day cycle). Sperm can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract, so the fertile window extends from 5 days before to 1 day after ovulation. This 6-day fertile window was established by landmark research from Wilcox and colleagues, and the luteal-phase timing follows American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidance. Because ovulation — and therefore conception — can shift by a few days each cycle, the result is a most-likely date within a short range, not an exact day.

No—conception is estimated within a range. Sperm can fertilize an egg for up to 5 days after intercourse, and the exact moment of fertilization can't be determined without IVF tracking.
Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before your next period, not 14 days after LMP. With a 35-day cycle, ovulation occurs around day 21, making conception likely around that time.
The fertile window is the days when pregnancy is possible: typically 5 days before ovulation through 1 day after. This accounts for sperm survival time and egg viability.
Because sperm survive several days, conception could occur anywhere from the day of intercourse up to 5 days later when the egg is fertilized. The range reflects this biological reality.
