| From: | To: |
The IVF Pregnancy Week Calculator estimates the current pregnancy week based on the embryo transfer date. This calculation accounts for the additional time from embryo development prior to transfer, providing an accurate gestational age for IVF pregnancies.
The calculator uses the IVF pregnancy week formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the number of weeks since transfer and adds 2 weeks to account for the time from the last menstrual period to embryo transfer.
Details: Accurate pregnancy week calculation is essential for monitoring fetal development, scheduling prenatal tests, determining due dates, and ensuring appropriate medical care throughout the pregnancy.
Tips: Enter the current date (defaults to today) and the embryo transfer date. The calculator will automatically compute the current pregnancy week. Ensure dates are entered in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Q1: Why add 2 weeks to the calculation?
A: In IVF pregnancies, gestational age includes the 2 weeks prior to embryo transfer when the eggs were developing, similar to how pregnancy is dated from the last menstrual period in natural conceptions.
Q2: Does this work for all types of embryo transfers?
A: Yes, this calculation works for fresh transfers, frozen embryo transfers (FET), and donor egg cycles. The transfer date is the key reference point.
Q3: What if my transfer was a day 3 embryo vs day 5 blastocyst?
A: The calculation remains the same regardless of embryo stage at transfer. The +2 weeks accounts for the standard gestational dating.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation compared to ultrasound dating?
A: IVF pregnancy dating is very accurate since the transfer date is known precisely. Early pregnancy ultrasounds typically confirm the calculated gestational age.
Q5: When should I start counting pregnancy weeks?
A: Pregnancy weeks begin counting from the transfer date + 2 weeks. The first day of your last menstrual period is considered day 1 of pregnancy week 1.
