Is the day of conception the day you had intercourse?
Pregnancy doesn’t start the day you have sex — it can take up to six days after sex for the sperm and egg to join and form a fertilized egg. Then, it can take three to four days for the fertilized egg to completely implant itself in the lining of the uterus.
Can doctors figure out day of conception?
Knowing the exact day of conception is a difficult thing. Sperm can live in a woman’s body for up to five days, making it impossible to calculate exactly when conception occurred. It is not a fine science. With an ultrasound, even women who don’t have periods at all can tell how far along they are.
Is date of conception more accurate?

How many times should you have intercourse to conceive?
Aim to have sex at least three to four times a week, throughout your cycle. There is a theory that semen may be helpful to the developing embryo. This means that sex after ovulation, and after you’ve conceived in fact, may help your pregnancy “stick.” Another good reason for more sex.
When is the best age to get pregnant?
Experts say the best time to get pregnant is between your late 20s and early 30s. This age range is associated with the best outcomes for both you and your baby. One study pinpointed the ideal age to give birth to a first child as 30.5. Your age is just one factor that should go into your decision to get pregnant.
What does it mean when man’s balls are loose?
The majority of the time, sagging testicles are a normal part of the aging process. The testicles naturally sag, even at a young age, to protect the sperm inside and keep them viable. Anyone worried about saggy balls or other associated symptoms should contact a doctor for a diagnosis.
Why do your balls tighten and loosen?
The scrotum tightens when it’s cold – moving the testicles closer to the body to keep them warm. And it loosens when it’s hot – moving them away from the body to cool them down. Your testicles also change shape and move closer to the body because of sexual arousal.
Why is one of my balls hanging lower?
This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Either side may be slightly larger or hang lower. But be sure to tell a parent (who will let your doctor know) if you have any pain, swelling, or lumps in your testicles.
