General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr. Michelle Gibson's Response

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It would not be possible to determine which of these were likely the conception dates without an ultrasound for dating. An ultrasound for dating gives the approximate age of the baby and it is used particularly when the dates of last period are unclear. Your doctor can schedule you for one of these tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
