The Pregnancy Calculator Using IUI Date calculates the estimated due date (EDD) based on the intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure date. This method provides an accurate pregnancy timeline for couples undergoing fertility treatments.
The calculator uses the standard formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation adds 266 days (38 weeks) to the IUI date to determine the expected delivery date, accounting for the typical human gestation period.
Details: Accurate EDD calculation is crucial for proper prenatal care scheduling, fetal development monitoring, and preparation for delivery. It helps healthcare providers track pregnancy milestones and identify any potential complications.
Tips: Enter the exact date of your IUI procedure. Ensure the date format is correct (YYYY-MM-DD). The calculator will provide the estimated due date based on standard gestation calculations.
Q1: Why use 266 days instead of 280 days?
A: 280 days is calculated from the last menstrual period (LMP), while 266 days is from actual conception date, which is more accurate for IUI pregnancies.
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This method is highly accurate for IUI pregnancies since the conception date is precisely known. However, actual delivery may vary by ±2 weeks.
Q3: What if I had multiple IUI procedures?
A: Use the date of the successful IUI procedure that resulted in pregnancy. Consult with your fertility specialist if uncertain.
Q4: Does this work for IVF pregnancies?
A: For IVF, the calculation differs slightly based on whether it's a 3-day or 5-day embryo transfer. Different calculators are available for IVF procedures.
Q5: When should I confirm the due date with ultrasound?
A: An early pregnancy ultrasound (6-9 weeks) can confirm the due date and is recommended to verify the calculation and check fetal development.
