Formula and Science

Cycle-Adjusted Due Date Calculation:

Due Date = LMP + 280 days + (Cycle Length - 28 days)

Gestational Age Calculation:

Gestational Days = Today - LMP Date

Our gestational library parses timestamps securely in local client-side memory, dividing total days by 7 to determine the pregnancy week index and using the remainder as gestational day count.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my pregnancy due date calculated?

Standard pregnancy dating assumes a gestation period of 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Our calculator uses Naive Gestational Estimations, which adjusts this 280-day baseline to account for cycles that are shorter or longer than the standard 28-day model: Estimated Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days + (Your Cycle Length - 28 days)

What is gestational age?

Gestational age measures how far along a pregnancy is, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period rather than the date of conception. It is represented in completed weeks and days. Clinicians prefer this measurement because the date of your last period is usually easier to confirm than the precise date of ovulation or conception.

How accurate is a due date calculator?

Only about 4% of babies are born precisely on their calculated due date. Due date estimators provide general guidelines. Ultrasound measurements during your first prenatal appointment represent the most accurate method for dating, and your OB/GYN or midwife will establish your official clinical timeline.
