How this calculator works
Method, formula, examples, assumptions, and review notes for this calculator.

How this calculator works

  • The calculator estimates pregnancy dating from last menstrual period, conception date, or due date depending on the selected method.
  • LMP-based dating uses a 280-day pregnancy convention from the first day of the last menstrual period.
  • Gestational age and trimester are derived from the estimated due date and today's date.

Formula

Estimated due date from last menstrual period

EDD=LMP+280 daysEDD = LMP + 280\ days

Plain text formula: Estimated due date = first day of last menstrual period plus 280 days, or about 40 weeks.

EDD = estimated due date
LMP = first day of the last menstrual period

Worked examples

LMP due date estimate

Inputs

  • Last menstrual period: January 1, 2026

Calculation

  • Add 280 days to the first day of LMP.
  • Estimated due date is October 8, 2026.

This estimate is useful for planning, but clinical dating may change after ultrasound and clinician review.

How to interpret your result

  • Pregnancy dates are estimates and should be confirmed by a qualified health professional.
  • Ultrasound, cycle regularity, fertility treatment dates, and medical history can affect clinical dating.

Assumptions

  • LMP-based estimates assume a typical cycle and standard 40-week dating convention.
  • Conception-based estimates assume the entered date is accurate.
  • Milestones are general educational ranges.

Limitations

  • The calculator cannot confirm pregnancy, fetal health, or gestational age.
  • Irregular cycles, unknown LMP, assisted reproduction, or medical complications require clinical assessment.
  • The output should not be used to make medical decisions without professional care.

Common mistakes

  • Counting pregnancy from conception instead of LMP when comparing with clinical week counts.
  • Treating the due date as an exact delivery date.
  • Ignoring clinician-updated dating from ultrasound or medical records.
