Brief Answer:
Conception is most likely to have occurred in August.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and would like to offer some suggestions.
1. It is difficult to predict the exact time of ovulation if your menstrual cycles are very irregular. However, if your cycle length varies within a span of ten days, ovulation can be estimated roughly.
2. Non-penetrative intercourse can lead to pregnancy only if it happens to be the fertile period and when pre-ejaculate/ejaculate is deposited on the vagina.
3. Since you experienced withdrawal spotting after using hormone in August, this is likely to be the menstrual period. However, brown color suggests old blood. If you conceived on the 29th of July, this sort of bleeding would mean an unhealthy pregnancy. However, this is not the case and so it is likely that you did not conceive
then.
4. The gestation age estimated at the end of the first trimester is not very erratic; moreover your repeated sonographic views correlate.There is a variation of +or - 1 week when compared to the last menstrual period.
Going by all these facts, it is likely that you have conceived in August.
Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
