IVF Due Date Formula:
| From: | To: |
The IVF due date calculation estimates the expected delivery date for pregnancies conceived through in vitro fertilization. This method provides more accurate dating than traditional last menstrual period calculations, especially important in assisted reproductive technology.
The calculator uses the standard IVF due date formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation accounts for the precise timing of embryo development, providing a more accurate due date than traditional pregnancy dating methods.
Details: Accurate due date calculation is crucial for monitoring fetal development, scheduling prenatal care, planning delivery, and assessing fetal growth throughout pregnancy.
Tips: Enter the exact date of embryo transfer. The calculator will automatically compute the estimated due date by adding 266 days to the transfer date.
Q1: Why 266 days specifically?
A: 266 days represents the standard gestation period calculated from embryo transfer date, accounting for embryo development prior to transfer.
Q2: Does this work for all types of embryo transfers?
A: This calculation is standard for fresh and frozen embryo transfers. For day 3 vs day 5 transfers, the timing may vary slightly but 266 days is the standard calculation.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Very accurate for IVF pregnancies since the conception date is precisely known, unlike natural conceptions where dating relies on last menstrual period.
Q4: Should I use this or my doctor's calculation?
A: This provides a general estimate. Always follow your healthcare provider's calculated due date as they may consider additional clinical factors.
Q5: What if I had a day 3 embryo transfer?
A: The standard calculation remains Transfer Date + 266 days, as this accounts for the embryo's developmental stage at transfer.
