Tools to Plan Conception & Pregnancy Timeline
Once you are aware of your reproductive health, couples can estimate baby conception dates by tracking ovulation with the help of conception calendars. Conception date calculators can predict fertile days and the probable conception date based on the cycle length. EDD by conception date can be arrived at using the conception date.
Conception Date & Pregnancy Tools
A conception calendar tracks ovulation and fertile dates, and calculates the due date. The calculation is typically done by adding 38 weeks to the conception date. This way, you can plan natural conception effectively with the help of a conception calendar.
Common Concerns Around Pre-Conception
You may be worried about age, or how genetics may affect conception, how your fertile health is, or if any underlying health conditions may pose a challenge in conceiving. Learn about these common concerns in a preconception consult and what you can do to navigate your way around them.
How accurate is a conception date calculator?
A conception date calculator is not accurate but gives an estimate based on your menstrual cycle and ovulation pattern. Various factors such as irregular periods or late ovulation are at play that may affect conception; hence an accurate result is not possible.
Can food and nutrition really improve chances of conception?
Certain foods for conception can increase chances of natural conception. You must consume a diet complete with folate, iron, zinc, and antioxidants to support your reproductive health.
What is the ideal preconception checklist for couples?
A preconception checklist includes medical checkups, hormonal testing, ensuring a healthy lifestyle – stress management, intake of best foods for conception, and tracking ovulation patterns.
How to know your day of conception?
There is no way to accurately know your day of conception, though you will know the month of conception. A conception calendar that tracks ovulation and fertile dates will calculate your due date by adding 38 weeks to the conception date.
