Patient's question:
What does conception mean? Is it pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it generally means conception and pregnancy, referred to as "pregnancy based on the last menstrual period." The actual time of conception is usually later by about ten days. Some women have longer menstrual cycles, and the ovulation period may differ from the last menstrual period by about twenty days. This results in the conception time being later than the pregnancy time calculated based on the menstrual period, leading to the ultrasound showing a smaller fetus. This is what is known as "late conception." "Late conception" is relative to your last menstrual period.
