Does conception mean I'm already pregnant?

Answer 1

Yes, when predicting the length of a pregnancy, it's counted from conception, which is when the fertilized egg implanted in the uterus. This is anywhere from 1 to 7 days after intercourse, assuming this lines up with ovulation.

Yes, Conception is the formation of a viable zygote by the union of the male sperm and female ovum; fertilization.

Answer 2

They day you have intercourse isn't necessarily the day the sperm and the egg connnect. Sperm can live for up to 3 days inside you before fertilizing the egg. And there is almost no way of knowing the exact date of conception. Aug 21st is just a really good estimate. If the father is what you are unsure of, have a blood test taken after the baby is born if it matters to you. Otherwise, you can always raise the baby as yours and your boyfriends if that is what you choose to do. Good luck! you!

YES!!! The meaning of Conception is the formation of a viable zygote by the union of the male sperm and female ovum; fertilization.

July 31st, 1964 was when I was born. What day was I conceived?

Answer 3

Sperm can live for up to 3 days inside you before fertilizing the egg. So no conception does not mean the day sperm fertilizes the egg.

As far as I understand it, yes. Conception is the moment the two cells, [sperm and egg] join together and start creating new cells that go on to become a foetus.

Answer 4

well conception is the day that the sperm met the egg so by that definition u are pregnant if sperm and egg have met. but at the same time if it does not implant into the uterus then u would miscarry

Answer 5

Quite possibly. If you get deep into the Biology it is not as clear cut as you might imagine.

Conception the sexual activity that resulted in the ejaculation of semen by the male. From this point the 250million sperm contained in the ejaculate are whittled down to just a few final survivors who make it to the fallopian tube. This is natures way of ensuring only the healthiest sperm survive.

Pregnancy on the other hand occurs when the sperm and egg connect. Now here is the crux of the question, sperm can live in the fallopian tube for up to a few days waiting for an egg to be released This means that although conception may have been on one day the actual fusing of sperm and egg may not take place for up to 3 or 4 days afterwards.

Answer 6

That is technically correct although as this may occur up to 48 hours after intercourse the actual moment is impossible to determine.

Answer 7

yes
