A member asked:

Even though ultrasounds go by gestational age, can you still get pregnant within that 2 weeks of gestational age they don't count as conception age?

Yes: Some women will ovulate earlier in their cycle. Sometimes even during their menstrual flow! this can be a big problem for observant jewish couples since intercourse is forbidden during this time of the month.
