Pregnancy Conception Calculator

Home › Fitness & Health Calculators › Pregnancy Conception Calculator

Estimate when you conceived from your due date, along with the fertile window.

How the calculation works

Conception usually happens about 266 days before the due date, which is about two weeks after the start of the last period. The fertile window runs from five days before ovulation to one day after.

Formula used

Conception date = due date − 266 days; Last period = due date − 280 days

Example

A due date of 14 May 2027 points to conception around 21 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Can the date be exact?

No. Ovulation timing and sperm survival make this an estimate.

What if I know my last period?

Use the Due Date Calculator instead.
