About Our Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

The most common method for estimating a baby's due date is based on the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). This calculator utilizes Naegele's Rule, a standard formula that adds 280 days (or 40 weeks) to your LMP. However, we understand that every pregnancy is unique, which is why we've incorporated features that go beyond a simple calculation.

Our tool offers a user-friendly interface with a toggle to switch between Basic and Advanced features, allowing you to access the level of detail you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why is my due date different from the ultrasound? LMP calculation is an initial estimate. Ultrasounds, especially in the first trimester, are often more accurate for dating. Your healthcare provider uses all available information for the most precise dating.
• What if I don’t remember my LMP or have irregular cycles? If your cycles are very irregular or you're unsure of your LMP, an early ultrasound is the most reliable way to determine your due date. This calculator's cycle length adjustment helps for moderate, consistent irregularity.
• How is the IVF due date calculated? For a Day 3 embryo transfer, the estimated due date is 263 days from transfer. For a Day 5 transfer, it's 261 days. These are standard clinical estimations.
• Is this calculator 100% accurate? No calculator can be 100% accurate. This tool provides an estimation based on common formulas. Always consult with your healthcare provider for medical advice and confirmation.
