Answer key: Conception Date worksheet

  1. 1. Estimated conception date: Thursday, Nov 7, 2024

    1. Ovulation is usually about 14 days before your next period. So take 14 from your cycle length

      14+(38−28)=38−14=24 days
    2. Count that many days on from the first day of your last period

      Oct 14, 2024 + 24 days=Thursday, Nov 7, 2024
    3. Add 266 days to that to find the matching due date

      Nov 7, 2024 + 266 days=Thursday, Jul 31, 2025
    4. Add 3 days on each side for a likely window, since the exact day can't be known

      Nov 7, 2024 ± 3 days=Nov 4, 2024 to Nov 10, 2024
  2. 2. Estimated conception date: Friday, Nov 14, 2025

    1. Ovulation is usually about 14 days before your next period. So take 14 from your cycle length

      14+(21−28)=21−14=7 days
    2. Count that many days on from the first day of your last period

      Nov 7, 2025 + 7 days=Friday, Nov 14, 2025
    3. Add 266 days to that to find the matching due date

      Nov 14, 2025 + 266 days=Friday, Aug 7, 2026
    4. Add 2 days on each side for a likely window, since the exact day can't be known

      Nov 14, 2025 ± 2 days=Nov 12, 2025 to Nov 16, 2025
  3. 3. Estimated conception date: Friday, Jan 17, 2025

    1. A due date is 280 days after the last period. Conception is about 14 days in, so it's 266 days before the due date

      280−14=266 days
    2. Count back 266 days from the due date

      Oct 10, 2025 − 266 days=Friday, Jan 17, 2025
    3. Add 3 days on each side for a likely window, since the exact day can't be known

      Jan 17, 2025 ± 3 days=Jan 14, 2025 to Jan 20, 2025
  4. 4. Estimated conception date: Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025

    1. A due date is 280 days after the last period. Conception is about 14 days in, so it's 266 days before the due date

      280−14=266 days
    2. Count back 266 days from the due date

      Oct 21, 2025 − 266 days=Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025
    3. Add 4 days on each side for a likely window, since the exact day can't be known

      Jan 28, 2025 ± 4 days=Jan 24, 2025 to Feb 1, 2025
  5. 5. Estimated due date: Saturday, Jul 18, 2026

    1. Pregnancy is counted as 280 days from the last period. Conception is about 14 days in, which leaves 266 days

      280−14=266 days
    2. Add those 266 days to the conception date to reach the due date

      Oct 25, 2025 + 266 days=Saturday, Jul 18, 2026
    3. Count back 14 days to find the start date that pregnancy weeks are counted from

      Oct 25, 2025 − 14 days=Oct 11, 2025
  6. 6. Estimated due date: Friday, Sep 24, 2027

    1. Pregnancy is counted as 280 days from the last period. Conception is about 14 days in, which leaves 266 days
