Is "conception date" more accurate a measure of age than "birth date"?

<p>No way, amore! My B-day is three days and a year after yours lol. ;)</p>

<p>And I have to agree with Platts. Imagining your parents…just…no.</p>

<p>Necroing for randomness.</p>

<p>I know my due date was June 2, but I was born on June 4, 1993. =)</p>

<p>I’d rather not think of the rest.</p>

<p>Lawl, decent necro. I actually remember this thread quite well.</p>

<p>

Guess which month I was born in.</p>

<p>Hmm… interesting. I was born August 24, but like 2 weeks late…so… okay. Yeah. Not going there.</p>

<p>On a random side note, I’ve heard “birthday” called “womb emancipation day.” I like this a lot better. :)</p>

<p>Well, yes, time from conception would be a more accurate measure of age. However, it would be very difficult to confirm that date, so the government uses the date of birth, which is confirmed for most people. It has been 17 years and a little over 3 months since I was born. However, that means that I’ve been alive for more than 18 years (especially since I know I was a week or two late). But the count is by birthdays, and I’ve only had 18 (ages 0-17). I have been alive for 18 years, I can now say that. But at what exact date could I have begun to say that? That, my friends, is the logistical nightmare that is “conception date”.</p>

<p>You know how the Catholic Church says life exists at conception? Well, I would have to be 18 to teach a CCD class to younger kids, yet the “I’ve been alive for 18 years” line didn’t work on the woman running it.</p>

<p>

Love it.</p>

<p>If your parents were drunk thats ok. My friends parents told his little brother that he was an accident and they didnt want any more kids. I wouldn’t say that if i were a parent. Its kind of mean. And its gross how much you guys know about what your parents do.</p>

<p>Alright… subtract 9 months from July is about August… mom’s birthday is August. Guess when I was conceived?</p>

<p>My mom was telling me about the time her and my dad went to Paris the other day. It was less than a year before I was born, so I asked if she was pregnant with me at the time. She replied “No,” and then, looking embarrassed, stated: “That may have actually been when you were conceived.” Dx Didn’t need to know that.</p>

<p>

July: Month 7. August: Month 8. 7-9=-2. 12-2=10. Month 10: October.</p>

<p>alright… make that around my dad’s birthday.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>math fail.</p>

<p>Yes I admit that was a horrible failure.</p>

<p>Perhaps you were being distracted by an Asian girl.</p>

<p>I did have one on my mind at the time.</p>

<p>Females are evil. They mess up peoples math :/</p>

<p>Yeah. Oh well until I meet that female that can do better than me in math and I see them enough… I’m still the ****.</p>

<p>Alright ego mode over.</p>

<p>Hmmm… December birthday… March. Mom’s birthday is June. Dad’s is in November. Nothing big that I know of in March. (They were divorced so I don’t know their anniversary.) I think I’'m safe from any creepy conception date stories.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Same here :O</p>

<p>^ How do you know that? O.o</p>
