Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about pregnancy due date calculation and tracking.
How accurate is a pregnancy due date calculator?
A pregnancy due date calculator is usually accurate within a few days when based on a reliable last menstrual period (LMP) date. However, only about 5% of babies are born exactly on their due date, most arrive within two weeks before or after. An early ultrasound (8–13 weeks) is considered the most accurate dating method and can refine your estimated due date.
How is a pregnancy due date calculated?
The most common method — Naegele’s rule — adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. Adjustments are made if your cycle is longer or shorter. Alternative methods include adding 266 days to a known conception date, or using IVF transfer dates and ultrasound measurements.
Can an ultrasound change my due date?
Yes. A first-trimester ultrasound (between 8 and 13 weeks) is the gold standard for pregnancy dating. If the baby’s measurements differ from your LMP-based estimate by more than 5–7 days, your doctor will typically revise your due date to match the ultrasound findings. Later ultrasounds are less accurate for dating.
How does IVF due date calculation work?
Yes. A first-trimester ultrasound (between 8 and 13 weeks) is the gold standard for pregnancy dating. If the baby’s measurements differ from your LMP-based estimate by more than 5–7 days, your doctor will typically revise your due date to match the ultrasound findings. Later ultrasounds are less accurate for dating.
What week does pregnancy officially start?
Pregnancy is officially counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), even though conception doesn’t occur until about two weeks later. This means by the time you get a positive pregnancy test (around week 4), your pregnancy is already considered to be 4 weeks along. The full pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks from LMP.
Can cycle length affect my due date estimate?
Absolutely. The standard Naegele’s rule assumes a 28-day cycle. If your cycles are longer (e.g. 35 days), you ovulate later, meaning your actual conception date is later — and your due date should be adjusted forward. This calculator accounts for cycle length variation so your estimate is more personalized and accurate.
