A doctor has provided 1 answer

Imprecise: You are the only who knows for sure when your LMP really was, and which days you had sex on. If you are positive your LMP was 5/6, then you most likely conceived 14 - 16 days prior to that, february 16 - 18. The edd is calculated from your LMP regardless of when you conceived. I know it's a bit confusing, but that's just the way it's done. Ultrasound is helpful, but it's not exact for edd.
