If you are 7.4 weeks (Plus or minus 5 days)[that is all the more accurate US is at this stage.], then conception (Egg meets sperm in the fallopian tube) occurred 5.4 (Plus or minus 5 days) weeks ago. Whatever date that was. The episode of intercourse that deposited the LUCKY sperm could have been as much as 5-7 days prior to that or as little as 6 hours prior to that. So which day was it ????
