Conception date confusion

This has been something I havnt been able to speak to anyone about and it’s not keeping me up at night with horrible anxiety.
I had my implant removed in September so have not had regular periods for years.
My due date is august 18th, dating the start of my pregnancy from November 11th.
Is there any possibility I have got pregnant from intercourse on October 29th?

I'm guessing you had intercourse with different people? It's hard to guess without knowing the other dates or when you ovulated (were you tracking?)

Although if they dated the pregnancy from 11th November (nhs dates from your last missed period) and the scan confirmed this was correct then you would have had your period and ovulated 2-3 weeks later near the end of November which is when you would have conceived so highly unlikely to be from October as sperm can usually survive up to 5/6 days not weeks

Any doubt though can only be confirmed by dna testing but if the dates above are correct it can be from October

Good luck 🤞🏻 you get the answer you're hoping for

@firsttimemummy321 if all the above dates are correct it can be from October?

@Danielsssssa I really don't think so. The most likely conception date, based on a “typical” 40 week pregnancy, would be 24th November. Which would mean, intercourse was likely between 18th and 24th November. This is because sperm can live inside your body for up to a week, but not longer.
If you conceived from intercourse on 29th October, your due date would be End of July.
