A member asked:

If my sonogram dates june 18, as conception, could intercourse from the 9th be when i got pregnant?

Maybe: If using the sonogram dates as accurate dates, then one "got pregnant" when conception happened because that's when the baby started, which would be around the 18th. If the only time one had sex in june was on the 9th, obviously that's when the sperm got into her body and waited. It's confusing because looking backwards, a woman is ~2 "weeks pregnant" before conception (before the baby is started).

Subtract 38 weeks: From the due date, get a calendar. That is roughly the day you ovulated. Sperm lives 7 days, the released egg lives 12-24 hours. The sperm can take 24-48 hours to get to the egg and needs to be waiting in the tube to quickly fertilize it. So, if the 9th corresponds to those parameters then yes.
