Range: There is a range of 2-5 days either side of estimated conception date due to cycle length affecting ovulation date and having sex + or - 2-3 days of ovulation.

Unsure: Because the majority of women do not know when they conceived; many can give a good report of when their last period was.

Conception: Usually an early trans vaginal u/s is the most accurate to date a pregnancy. If there is uncertainty i would perform a second one 3 weeks later to confirm.

Lmp: You really should look at your first day of your last period and add 14 days roughly for best guess of conception.

Confusing-ask doctor: Conception does not necessarily occur on the same day you have sex, so the most accurate date is a known last period. A woman's cycles can be 21-35 days apart, and ovulation occurs on day 7-9 on shorter cycles, around day 14-16 for the "classic" 28 day cycle or day 18-21 for the longer cycle. Us dating assumes the average cycle, so a 7 week pregnancy would indicate conception about 5 weeks ago.
