## Quick Answer

Calculate your estimated conception date. Enter either the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or your estimated due date to see your conception timeline.

## Definition

A conception calculator is a family planning tool that estimates the approximate date when fertilization occurred. Because the exact moment of conception is difficult to pinpoint, it is standard clinical practice to estimate conception as approximately fourteen days after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) for a standard twenty-eight day cycle. Alternatively, if the estimated due date is known, conception is calculated as two hundred sixty-six days prior to that due date. Expecting parents use this tool to trace milestones, understand gestational age, and determine when pregnancy began.

## How to Use

1. **Select input method** — Choose whether you are starting with your Last Menstrual Period (LMP) date or your known Due Date.
2. **Enter date** — Input the corresponding date using the calendar picker.
3. **Read conception date** — View the estimated conception date along with a ±3-day typical range.
4. **Review derived dates** — See the estimated due date or LMP calculated from your input.
