Conception Dates! Help

Hi everyone,
Please help me get my head around all of this!
So 30th May I slept with my partner (finished my period 29th May) we didnt sleep together at all throughout June as I was really ill and ended up on around 5 different courses of antibiotics to treat an infection. My period should of came around 26th June ( periods are slightly irregular but always come around the same date for about 3 days).
Anyway, my period never came whilst I was on holiday in Turkey from 2nd July until 12th July.. I put this down to immense stress in June as well as the antibiotics I was on. I slept with my partner 13th July and took a HCG strip test at home around 2 weeks later, the first one had an extremely faint second line whilst the second test an hour had only 1 line, negative. i then took a Clear Blue conception test which dated me 1-2 weeks pregnant, delighted! Took another the following day, again this said 1-2 weeks pregnant and a week later, the last test said 2-3 weeks pregnant.. which would of been correct if this test definetley goes from conception. I had to have an early scan the first week of August which showed no pregnancy at all, a week later showed I was 5-6 weeks. 30th September (dating scan) showed I was 12+4 days but the paperwork says 'technically difficult scan' from my July conception date I worked out that 30th September could mean I was only 11+3 days maximum.. I know they say dating scans can be around a week out.. so do you think I'm correct that conception occured 13th July? Or does anyone think I actually concieved 30th May roughly? Only confused because that should of made my dating scan around 17weeks. Thankyou!

On my scan it was 9 days out x

It would have been July - they would have been able to tell if you were 17 weeks!

Pregnancy is counted from the date of your last period, not conception so you should be roughly 2 weeks ahead.

Thankyou, I know they count from last period but with me not having a period at the end of June this is why I was confused. Didnt know if my baby was measuring far too small (if conception was may) or slightly bigger than 11+3 for July with the sonographer saying 12+4 x
