How the estimated due date is calculated

A conventional estimated due date (EDD) is 280 days after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).

For supported cycle lengths, the estimate is adjusted by the difference from a 28-day cycle. This remains a simple calendar estimate and is not clinical dating for irregular cycles.

Limitations and when the estimate may differ

  • A due date is an estimate, not a guaranteed delivery date.
  • LMP dating assumes the entered period date is reliable. Ovulation timing and cycle regularity vary.
  • ACOG states that first-trimester ultrasound is the most accurate way to establish or confirm gestational age. Keep the EDD established by your maternity-care professional.

Important: This calculator provides general date estimates only. It does not diagnose pregnancy, assess fetal health or viability, or provide individualized medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is pregnancy counted from the last period?

Gestational age is conventionally counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, about two weeks before conception in a standard 28-day-cycle approximation.

Can this replace my scan due date?

No. Use the due date established by your maternity-care professional for clinical decisions.
