I’m dated 17 weeks 5 days. Does that mean I conceived then or did I conceive 15 weeks 5 days ago?
Please help.

It means that, in theory, the first day of your period was 17 weeks 5 days ago - if you get on google there are lots of conception calculators online that will give you an estimate of when your conception date was.

Yes, they estimate conception date to be 2 weeks less than the gestational weeks your baby was measuring at dating.
Estimate is the key word, it can be slightly out.

It means you conceived 15 W 5 days ago.

However, sperm can live in the body for several days so it's not to say that's the day you had sex and conceived. Could have been a few days before this date ♥️ xx

It means you ovulated roughly 15w 5 days ago.
It could've been from sex any time between 15 and 16 weeks ago though.
