Question
Hello.
I am trying to figure out when my son was conceived. the last day of my period was !0/01/2008. my son is now 6 months. my periods usually come at different times, but its either in the beginning or the end of the month.
thanks
Hi Lucero,
Going by the date of your last period, conception probably occurred approximately October 10-October 17. However, if your cycle was more or less than 28 days that month, the date of conception could be off.
If you had any ultrasounds in the first trimester, that information would be helpful in figuring out the date of conception.
I hope that helps!
Sincerely,
Dorothy H, LCCE

Experience
Since 2004, I have taught childbirth education classes focused on helping couples gain confidence, make decisions for their birth, and give them tools for helping them get the birth they want. Since 2004, I have also attended births in local hospitals as a birth doula (as of 8/10, I have attended 120 births) so I am able to see firsthand what is working in helping couples deal with labor. I am also a mom of five children, and have various birth experiences myself, including unmedicated birth and a cesarean.
