I'm not sure if a technical answer exists from scripture, if the Buddha or one of his students said, but I expect not.

The idea of reincarnation is in essence outside of time, it has gone on before this universe was created and will continue after this universe has ended. It's outside of the relative physical conditions. So the answer is likely to be incalculable.

The real issue is that Buddha was like us, subject to cause and effect the same as you and me. For most Buddhists the issue isn't where we come from but how do we stop the cycle of suffering (see the Four Noble Truths).
