    When did I conceive
    Hi there, I was wondering if you could help. I have recently found out I am pregnant. My due date has been given as the 31st of October. I had sex my boyfriend on the 31st of January. We split up after this. On the 12th of February I slept with someone else although he didn't come in me. When was the most likely time I conceived? Thanks

    Do you remember what your LMP was? With a due date of 10/31, you most likely conceived on February 8. Now, remember that it takes several days for the sperm to fertilize the egg after having sex, so having intercourse on 1/31 makes it possible for this man to be the father.

    However, with that said, there is no way to tell beyond the shadow of a doubt until the child is born and a DNA test is done.

    Knowing your LMP may change what I have said above.

    That is what my gestation calculator said. So, most likely it was from the first encounter. But, remember, these are only estimates and since the dates are so close it's impossible to be entirely accurate without a DNA test after the baby is born.
