How the Reverse Due Date Calculator Works

The reverse due date calculator works by subtracting the standard pregnancy duration from your estimated due date to determine the conception date.

Formula:

Conception Date = Due Date - Pregnancy Duration

Where Pregnancy Duration is typically 280 days (40 weeks).

This calculation assumes a standard pregnancy timeline. Actual conception dates may vary based on individual factors.

Example Calculation

Let's say your estimated due date is January 15, 2024, and you're using a standard 40-week pregnancy duration (280 days).

Example:

Conception Date = January 15, 2024 - 280 days

Conception Date ≈ April 17, 2023

This means if your baby is due on January 15, 2024, you likely conceived around April 17, 2023.
