A pregnancy age's is counted from the
first day of the last menstruation (the
2nd of July 2006 in your case).... not
from the date of conception. Conception
happens several hours after ovulation,
which itself occurs about 14 days before
the next period is due to arrive. If your
menstrual cycle usually lasts 30 days and
your last period started on the 2nd of
July, then ovulation (and conception)
probably occurred around the 18th of July,
2006. Two days before and two days after
the ovulation date are considered the
fertile days of your cycle, which mean any
unprotected sexual intercourse between the
16th and 20th of July 2006 could have
caused conception.
