The calculator uses standard pregnancy duration of 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period.

Formula Used

Estimated Due Date (EDD): LMP Date + 280 days (40 weeks)

Conception Date: LMP Date + 14 days (2 weeks)

This calculator uses the standard pregnancy duration of 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period to calculate the estimated due date.

Worked Example

If your last menstrual period started on January 1, 2023:

  • Estimated Due Date: January 1, 2023 + 280 days = October 8, 2023
  • Conception Date: January 1, 2023 + 14 days = January 15, 2023

This example shows how the calculator determines your baby's estimated birth date and conception date based on your last menstrual period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the estimated due date?

The estimated due date is based on the average pregnancy duration of 40 weeks. Individual pregnancies may vary by a few days or weeks. Ultrasound scans provide more precise due dates during pregnancy.

What is the first day of my last menstrual period?

The first day of your last menstrual period is the first day you had bleeding for your period. This is typically the day you would expect your period to start if you were not pregnant.
