As per SET(M) Guidelines, Clause 2, page 2 - QUALIFYING FOR INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN:

To qualify for indefinite leave to remain in one of the categories for which you must use form SET(M), you must satisfy the requirements set out in Part 8 of the Immigration Rules, which are on our website.

One of the requirements is that you have to complete 2 years’ leave to enter OR remain as the partner of the person named in your application. That period runs from


- the date on which you entered the UK with a visa in the relevant category; or, if you did not enter the UK with such a visa, from

- the date on which you were first granted leave to remain in the UK in the relevant category

I think leave to enter is the fiance visa and leave to remain is the spouse visa. If that is the case, you are allowed to apply for your ILR on Mar 2013 or 28 - DD April 2013.
Q1 – When does my indefinite leave to remain (ILR / settlement) qualifying period start?

If you switch into a qualifying category within the UK, the qualifying period starts on the day your leave was extended. If you obtained entry clearance abroad, the qualifying period start on the day you entered the UK or the day you were granted your visa providing you entered the UK within 3 months of your visa being endorsed in your passport.
