Formula Used
Due Date Calculation
When calculating from last menstrual period (LMP):
Estimated Due Date = LMP + 280 days
When calculating from estimated due date (EDD):
Last Menstrual Period = EDD - 280 days
This standard 280-day pregnancy length is based on the average duration of pregnancy, though individual pregnancies may vary.
Worked Example
Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 15, 2023. Here's how the calculation works:
- Start with January 15, 2023
- Add 280 days: January 15 + 280 days = October 12, 2023
- Your estimated due date would be October 12, 2023
This example shows the standard calculation, but remember that actual due dates can vary by several days.
Interpreting Results
The calculator provides several key pieces of information:
- Estimated Due Date: Your calculated due date based on your input
- Pregnancy Timeline: Key milestones and development stages
- Important Dates: Recommended checkup dates and other significant markers
