Frequently asked questions

What is IVF Due Date Calculator?

Date an IVF pregnancy from the transfer date and the embryo's age, with gestational age today, the trimester and term milestones, and the equivalent LMP date.

When would I actually use this?

Placing a pregnancy on the calendar: the estimated due date, the current week, and when the usual appointments and screenings fall.

What is the most common mistake?

Reading the due date as a deadline. It is a median: fewer than one birth in twenty happens on it, and a normal term spans several weeks around it.

How is IVF Due Date Calculator different from Due date calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Due date calculator is the one to open when you need it to estimate your baby's due date (Naegele's rule). Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Conception date calculator is the closest one after this: Estimate the likely conception date from a due date.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Next period date calculator and Baby Growth Percentile Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Dating follows Naegele's rule (280 days from the last period) or the transfer date for assisted conception. An early ultrasound is more accurate than any calculation and takes precedence over it.

ExplainerIVF Dating Is the One Case Where the Date Is Actually KnownEvery other pregnancy is dated from an estimate. After IVF, fertilisation is timed to the hour, so gestational age is arithmetic: 266 days from fertilisation, minus the embryo's age at transfer. Here is the derivation for day-3, day-5 and day-6 embryos, why frozen and fresh transfers use the same rule, why an early scan rarely moves an IVF date, and what the two-week offset on a scan report means.ExplainerhCG Doubling Time, and What a Single Number Cannot Tell YouDoubling time is ln(2) times the interval divided by the natural log of the ratio. Here it is derived and worked on real pairs, with the two things most often got wrong online: the expected rate slows as the level rises, and a single value is meaningless because the reference range at one gestational week can span more than two hundredfold.ExplainerCycle Length, Ovulation, and What a Fertile Window Really IsOvulation is estimated far better by counting backwards from the next period than forwards from the last one, because the phase after ovulation is the stable one. Here is the inversion worked for every cycle length, the fertile window from the study that defined it, and the failure rates that make this unusable as contraception.ExplainerHow Pregnancy Dating Actually WorksGestational age is counted from your last period, about two weeks before conception, so a pregnancy of 6 weeks contains an embryo of about 4 weeks. Here is Naegele's rule derived, the correction for a cycle that is not 28 days, and when ACOG says an early scan should replace your dates.How-toHow to Calculate Your Due DateNaegele's rule adds 280 days to your last period — or subtract three months and add seven days. Here's how it works and why it's only an estimate.ExplainerHow Much Milk Does a Baby Need? The Rule of Thumb and Its LimitsA formula-fed baby takes roughly 2.3 fl oz per pound of body weight per day in the first months, split across the day's feeds. Here is the table by age and weight, why breastfed babies are not measured this way, and the signs that outrank any number.
