When does the number of days of pregnancy start to be calculated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to ask that my period arrived on December 28, 2017. I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on the 7th and then got married. However, my period came on January 29. On January 7, I took birth control pills, and my period skipped a day, so I went to the hospital and they prescribed me progesterone capsules. My period only arrived on January 29, and I met my current husband on February 5. Now, my husband also had his period on February 27, but his period hasn't arrived on March 27. I'm wondering if this baby has anything to do with my ex-boyfriend. I don't need to do a paternity test, but I'm very worried every day. Since I got married on January 7, I haven't seen my ex-boyfriend since then. Is this the ultrasound report for the pregnancy? Could you please help me make a good guess? Thank you.
I had a cesarean section surgery on November 28, 2018, and my baby was 51 days old on January 18, 2019. I heard that if the pregnancy is calculated from the last period, the due date would be February 27, 2018, right? Or should it be calculated from the day I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on January 7, 2018? Does it matter? But when I calculated, it came out to 274 days from February 27, 2018, to November 28, 2018. I hope a capable doctor can explain this to me. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your current baby has no relationship with your ex-boyfriend. As long as the amount and color of your menstrual period on February 27th are the same as before, it is a normal menstrual period. This baby was conceived after the menstrual period on February 27th, and it should have been conceived during the ovulation period in mid-March. The days of conception start from the first day of your last menstrual period. It is recommended that you do not worry, this is your current husband's child.
