👶 What Is the Estimated Due Date Calculator?
The Estimated Due Date Calculator is a helpful digital tool designed for expectant mothers who are planning or tracking their pregnancy. It calculates the likely date of delivery based on a woman’s menstrual cycle or assisted reproductive procedures like IVF.
This tool follows medically recognized formulas such as Naegle’s Rule and uses the information you provide to estimate:
- The expected date of birth
- The current pregnancy week
- The number of days remaining until delivery

👶 Estimated Due Date Calculator
📅 What Information Is Used for the Calculation?
Our calculator offers three different methods to estimate your due date:
1. Based on the First Day of the Last Menstrual Period (LMP)
This is the most commonly used method.
📌 Formula:
Estimated Due Date = LMP + 280 days (40 weeks)
Recommended for women with regular menstrual cycles.
2. Based on the Date of Conception
Used when ovulation or conception date is known.
📌 Formula:
Estimated Due Date = Conception Date + 266 days
Assumes fertilization occurred on the day of ovulation.
3. Based on Embryo Transfer Date (IVF)
Ideal for those undergoing assisted reproductive technology.
📌 Formula:
- For 3-day embryos: Transfer Date + 263 days
- For 5-day embryos: Transfer Date + 261 days
🧮 How to Use the Calculator?

📈 How Accurate Are the Results?
This tool relies on scientifically accepted averages and medical formulas. However:
- Every woman’s body and hormonal rhythm is different.
- The actual delivery date may vary from the estimated one.
- True labor can only be confirmed when it begins.
The results are for informational purposes only and do not replace medical advice. Regular prenatal visits remain essential.
