Question
im 21 weeks and i cant figure out when my last period was or when i got pregant. I get my perid a the beginning of the month like the 10th of every month and im only stay on my perid for 4 days and i just want to know what day did i get pregant

Answer
Beonka,

Unfortunately, without more information I can't tell you the exact day you conceived.  If you're 21 weeks, and have regular cycles, then you most likely conceived about 14 days before your next period was due, which would likely have been mid-late march.


Best,
Catherine
