Ovulation could have occurred at any time during the ties or even after.
Knowing ovulation, by progesterone testing is key to knowing a better due date for your female.
I learned all this after my accidental pregnancy and her subsequent c-section and spay. I don't need the knowledge now, since I never breeding again, but it's nice knowing it.
