When did i conceive? (Took period delay pill)

Im confusing myself trying to work out when i conceived due to taking northisterone (period delay pill) and was wondering if anyone could shed any light!

I was due a period on mon 8th October, but started taking northisterone 3 days before to delay it for a week. After I stopped taking it, my period came on 18th october (4 days after).

Assuming delaying my period also changes the day i ovulate etc, my next period was due this week (12th november). I have 25 day cycles and, they are usually like clockwork (sometimes comes on day 26/27).

However, my period didnt turn up ....assumed the northisterone had messed up my cycle, but took a pregnancy test this morning just in case, and it was positive! Plus another one this afternoon which was also positive!

So really, im trying to work out when I conceived. Was it the week i delayed my period for (8th october), or was it approx two weeks ago? (Around 1st/2nd nov). If I did conceive the week of 8th oct, would i still have had that period immediately after, or would i always have had it, as it was essentially 'on its way' before I delayed it?

To be honest, i think its unlikely I conceived week of 8th october, otherwise it wouldve been day 28/29 of my cycle, and mine are always around 25 days!

More likely it wouldve happened two weeks ago (I remember DTD on halloween so i guess this would make the most sense as i was likely ovulating).

Obviously it doesnt really matter when I conceived, and Im going to make a doctors appointment next week so they should be able to give me a better idea, but i was just wondering when it could have happened so i can try to work out how far along i am! Especially as my head will be full of this all weekend! 

Apologies for the length and hopefully what I wrote makes sense

Your doctor will take it from the first day of your last period for now, then when you have your first scan they'll be able to tell more specifically. I ovulated day 23 or 24 of the cycle I got my bfp, so doctor is saying I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant when based on when i think I ovulated I'm more like 6+3. I've been going by the latter because I don't want to be disappointed if 12 weeks is further away than I expected.
