How this works

Pick the date you know best — most people start with the first day of their last menstrual period (LMP), which is also how clinicians date pregnancies. If you tracked ovulation or know your conception date, that's even more precise. For IVF pregnancies, use the embryo transfer date and tell us whether the embryo was transferred on day 3 or day 5.

The calculator runs the standard formula on whichever date you picked. Your estimated due date (EDD), current gestational age in weeks and days, current trimester, and days remaining all update instantly — no submit button, no page reload.

Most full-term pregnancies last between 37 and 42 weeks. Only about 5% of babies arrive exactly on their estimated due date; healthy births happen anywhere in that window. Your provider may adjust your due date after a first-trimester ultrasound if measurements differ by more than seven days.

The math behind it

LMP mode uses Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This assumes a regular 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. If your cycle is consistently longer or shorter, the actual due date may shift by a few days.

Conception mode adds 266 days (38 weeks) to your stated conception date. Pregnancy duration is more accurately measured from conception than from LMP — clinicians use LMP as a proxy because it's easier to remember.

IVF mode subtracts the embryo's age at transfer from 266 days, then adds the remainder to your transfer date. For a day-3 transfer that's transfer + 263 days; for a day-5 (blastocyst) transfer it's transfer + 261 days. This is the ASRM-recommended method.

All three methods give an estimate — your healthcare provider's first-trimester ultrasound is the most accurate dating method available and may revise your EDD.
