How It Works

The estimate is pure calendar arithmetic on UTC day counts, so time zones and daylight saving never skew it. Pick the dating anchor you actually know — the first day of your last period, or the conception date — and the calculator applies the standard clinical rules.

Naegele's rule: LMP + 280 days
The standard clinical estimate adds 40 weeks (280 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period. It looks odd — pregnancy is really about 38 weeks long — but gestational age deliberately starts early: in the textbook 28-day cycle, ovulation falls on day 14, so counting from the period's first day builds that fortnight in.
The cycle-length adjustment
A 28-day cycle is an assumption, not reality for everyone. If your cycles average 30 days, you likely ovulated around day 16 — two days later than the textbook — so the due date shifts by your cycle length minus 28 (here: +2 days). A 24-day cycle pulls it four days earlier. The formula is EDD = LMP + 280 + (cycle − 28).
Conception mode: + 266 days
When you know the conception date — from tracking, a precise ovulation test or a fertility procedure — the arithmetic is cleaner: due date = conception + 266 days (38 weeks). No cycle adjustment is needed; the moment of ovulation is already the fact you measured.
Why the date is really a window
Only about 4% of babies arrive on their exact estimated due date; most come within the term window of 37–42 weeks. Treat the output as the centre of a five-week range, not a delivery appointment — an early ultrasound narrows the uncertainty further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 40 weeks if the baby is really around 38?

Because gestational age is counted from the first day of your last period, not from conception. Ovulation usually happens about 14 days into the cycle, so by the time the egg is fertilised you are already about two weeks 'pregnant' in gestational terms. 40 weeks from LMP ≈ 38 weeks from conception — both describe the same pregnancy, just from different starting lines.

How accurate is an estimated due date?

As a single date, not very — only about 1 in 20 babies arrive on their exact due date, and most arrive within the 37–42 week term window. As a window it is reliable: an LMP-based estimate is typically within one to two weeks, and an early ultrasound (often around 8–13 weeks) refines it further by measuring the baby.

My cycles are irregular — does this still work?

It gives a reasonable estimate, but the maths assumes a regular cycle. If your cycles average more or less than 28 days, use the cycle-length slider, or the conception mode if you know the date. With genuinely irregular cycles, an early ultrasound is the most reliable way to date a pregnancy — ask your provider.

Is this medical advice?

No. This is arithmetic based on standard dating rules (Naegele's rule and its cycle-length adjustment), nothing more. Treat the output as an estimate and confirm it with a healthcare provider — especially after IVF or fertility medication, where your clinic uses its own dating based on the exact transfer and embryo age. If anything feels wrong, contact your provider, not this page.

Are my dates stored or uploaded?

No — and that matters here, so it is worth stating clearly: the calculation runs entirely in your browser. The dates you enter are never transmitted, stored or logged anywhere; they exist only on your device while you use the page and disappear when you close it.
