How to Tell the Date of Conception

Although it is common to hear the phrase "date of conception," in actuality it is very difficult to determine the exact date a baby was conceived. According to the American Pregnancy Association, unless the mother-to-be has undergone a procedure such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, most women do not know the exact date of conception. Instead of an exact date, a woman can determine a range of dates in which her baby was conceived.
