Calculator Use

The due date calculator by ivf is a specialized tool designed for patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). Unlike traditional pregnancy calculators that rely on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), this calculator uses the precise timing of embryo development and transfer to provide a much more accurate estimated due date.

Whether you are undergoing a fresh embryo transfer, a frozen embryo transfer (FET), or an egg retrieval with ICSI, this tool adjusts for the specific age of the embryo to ensure your timeline is medically sound. Fertility specialists prefer this method because IVF eliminates the guesswork regarding the date of "conception."

IVF Method
Select whether you had a Day 3 transfer, a Day 5 (blastocyst) transfer, or if you are calculating from the day of retrieval.
Procedure Date
The specific calendar date when the transfer or retrieval occurred.
Estimated Due Date (EDD)
The final date calculated by adding the remaining gestation period (typically totaling 266 days from fertilization).

How It Works

A full human pregnancy is traditionally considered to be 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period. However, since ovulation usually occurs 14 days after the LMP, the actual development of the fetus lasts about 266 days (38 weeks) from fertilization. In IVF, we know the exact "conception" date, so we count forward from there.

EDD = [Procedure Date] + (266 Days – [Embryo Age])

  • Egg Retrieval: Considered Day 0. We add the full 266 days to this date.
  • Day 3 Transfer: The embryo is already 3 days old. We add 263 days to the transfer date.
  • Day 5 Transfer: The blastocyst is 5 days old. We add 261 days to the transfer date.
  • IUI/Insemination: Treated similarly to egg retrieval, adding 266 days to the procedure date.

Calculation Example

Scenario: A patient undergoes a 5-Day Blastocyst transfer on October 10th. Because the embryo is already 5 days along, we do not need to wait the full 266 days from the transfer date.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. IVF Method: 5-Day Transfer
  2. Procedure Date: October 10
  3. Math: 266 days (standard) – 5 days (embryo age) = 261 days
  4. Calculation: October 10 + 261 days
  5. Result: June 28 (of the following year)

Common Questions

Why is the IVF due date more accurate?

Natural conception calculators assume a perfect 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. Many women vary significantly from this. With the due date calculator by ivf, there is no variance; we know exactly when fertilization happened, making the date more reliable for medical monitoring.

Does a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) change the date?

No, the calculation remains the same for frozen embryos. The only thing that matters is the "age" of the embryo when it was frozen (usually Day 3 or Day 5) and the date it is transferred back into the uterus. The time the embryo spent in storage does not count toward gestational age.

What if I have twins through IVF?

While the biological "due date" calculated remains the same, most twin pregnancies are delivered between 37 and 38 weeks. Your doctor will use the EDD from this calculator as a baseline and then adjust your delivery plan accordingly.

Is the due date the day I will actually give birth?

Only about 4-5% of babies are born exactly on their due date. However, the date provided by the due date calculator by ivf is essential for scheduling ultrasounds, blood tests, and monitoring the growth milestones of the fetus.
