Hello thanks for writing in.
The expected due date is calculated in two ways-one-based on the last period and second-according to an ultrasound.
The scan will calculate a date from the sac size and fetal size.
In your case, with an unsure time of conception and period date, you must do an ultrasound do determine the weeks of pregnancy and due date.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care.
