1. What is Pregnancy Calculator Likelihood?

The Pregnancy Calculator Likelihood estimates the probability of pregnancy based on symptoms and the date of the last menstrual period (LMP). It provides an assessment of potential pregnancy status using qualitative symptom evaluation and menstrual cycle timing.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the likelihood formula:

Where:

• \( Symptoms \) — Qualitative assessment of pregnancy symptoms (None, Mild, Moderate, Severe)
• \( LMP \) — Date of Last Menstrual Period

Explanation: The algorithm considers both symptom severity and timing in the menstrual cycle to estimate pregnancy probability. More severe symptoms and longer delays since LMP increase the calculated likelihood.

3. Importance of Pregnancy Likelihood Assessment

Details: Early pregnancy detection is crucial for prenatal care, lifestyle adjustments, and medical management. This calculator provides preliminary assessment before confirmatory testing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select symptom severity based on your experience and enter the accurate date of your last menstrual period. For best results, use the first day of your last period.
