How It Works

The pregnancy due date calculator estimates your expected delivery date (EDD) using one of three medically accepted methods:

Last Menstrual Period (LMP): The most common method. It adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This is the standard Naegele's rule used by most healthcare providers.

Conception Date: If you know your conception or ovulation date, the calculator adds 266 days (38 weeks). This method is more precise when the conception date is known, as it removes the assumption of a 14-day follicular phase.

IVF Transfer Date: For IVF pregnancies, the calculator accounts for the embryo's age at transfer. For a 5-day blastocyst transfer, it adds 261 days (266 − 5). For a 3-day cleavage-stage transfer, it adds 263 days (266 − 3).

The calculator also shows your current gestational week, trimester, a visual progress bar, baby size comparisons (fruit/vegetable analogies), and upcoming developmental milestones.

Tips & Best Practices

The LMP method assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. If your cycles are irregular, the conception date method may be more accurate.
Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date — it's an estimate, not a deadline. Most births occur within two weeks before or after.
The trimester progress bar gives a quick visual of where you are in your pregnancy journey.
Baby size comparisons use common fruits and vegetables to help visualize your baby's growth each week.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the due date calculation?

The LMP method is the clinical standard but assumes a regular 28-day cycle. Actual delivery dates vary — about 80% of babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks. Your healthcare provider may adjust the date based on ultrasound measurements.

Gestational age counts from the first day of your last period (LMP) and is about 2 weeks longer than fetal age, which counts from conception. Medical professionals typically use gestational age (40 weeks total).

IVF embryos are cultured for either 3 or 5 days before transfer. Since the embryo already has that age at transfer, the calculator subtracts it from the standard 266-day post-conception period to get the correct due date.
