What Is a Reverse Due Date Calculator?
Well, it’s like the opposite of a regular due date calculator.

Why Use a Reverse Conception Calculator?
Maybe you’re dreaming of a September baby and want to plan accordingly.
Or perhaps you’re curious about the timing of your own conception!
Whatever the reason, my calculator is here to assist you in a snap!
What Is the Date of Conception?
It’s the magical moment when sperm meets egg and the journey of new life begins!
But here’s the thing – figuring out the exact day of conception is a bit tricky.
Ovulation, the release of the egg, typically happens between days 11-21 of a woman’s monthly cycle. That’s quite a wide window, isn’t it?
To add to the mystery, conception can occur within hours or up to a week after intercourse!
How? Well, sperm can hang out inside a woman’s body for up to a week, patiently waiting for the egg to make its grand entrance.

How Is the Date of Conception Calculated?
It’s simple math!
For a standard 28-day cycle, subtract 266 days from your estimated due date, and voila – you’ve got your estimated date of conception.
So if your doctor gave you a due date based on an early ultrasound or other method, this calculator will tell you when you most likely got pregnant.
How Accurate Is It?
This tool provides an estimate, not an exact answer.
Several factors can affect when you actually conceived:
- Irregular menstrual cycles
If your cycles aren’t regular, it’s harder to know exactly when you ovulated. - Fertility treatments
If you conceived through treatments like IUI or IVF, the timing may be controlled or different from natural conception. - Late ovulation
Some women ovulate later than expected, which can shift the actual conception date.
