Important Note

Remember that these dates are estimates. Actual due dates can vary by several days. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides several key pieces of information:

Estimated Due Date: This is calculated as 40 weeks (280 days) from your last menstrual period or from your ultrasound date.
Estimated Conception Date: This is calculated as 14 days before your last menstrual period or adjusted based on your ultrasound date.
Pregnancy Timeline: The chart shows important milestones throughout your pregnancy.

Formula Used

For LMP method: Due Date = LMP + 280 days
Conception Date = LMP - 14 days

For ultrasound method: Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (280 - Gestational Age in Days)
Conception Date = Ultrasound Date - Gestational Age in Days - 14 days

Here's an example: If your last menstrual period was January 1, 2023, your estimated due date would be October 31, 2023, and your estimated conception date would be December 17, 2022.
