IVF Due Date Calculator
Calculate your estimated due date based on your IVF transfer date
About this IVF due date calculator
- Shows your EDD, gestational age (weeks + days), and trimester.
- Works for fresh and frozen (FET) transfers.
- Requires just two inputs: transfer date + embryo age at transfer (day-3 or day-5).
How to use it
- Select Day-3 or Day-5 embryo.
- Enter your embryo transfer date.
- View your results instantly.
How the calculation works
- Pregnancy length by convention is ~280 days from LMP or 266 days from fertilization.
- For IVF we know embryo age at transfer, so we add:
- Day-3 transfer: +263 days to the transfer date (266 − 3).
- Day-5 transfer: +261 days to the transfer date (266 − 5).
- If you prefer an “LMP” for medical forms, use fertilization date − 14 days (your clinic can provide this).
Accuracy & limitations
- IVF dating is typically very precise; your clinic may confirm with an early ultrasound.
- The calculator assumes a singleton 40-week timeline for the EDD.
- Twins or more: many deliver earlier; your care plan may target earlier milestones.
- Donor eggs, ICSI, and PGT do not change the calculation.
- Individual health factors can still shift birth timing.
Key prenatal milestones (approximate)
- 6–10 weeks: First prenatal visit/early ultrasound (clinic dependent).
- 10–13 weeks: First-trimester screening/NIPT (if chosen).
- 18–22 weeks: Anatomy ultrasound.
- 24–28 weeks: Glucose screening.
- 36–37 weeks: Group B strep (GBS) test.
FAQs
- Does a frozen embryo change the math?
No—use the transfer date and the embryo’s age at transfer (day-3 or day-5). - Do donor eggs affect my due date?
No. Dating is based on embryo age and transfer date. - Why might my clinic adjust the date?
They may refine it after an early ultrasound (CRL measurement). - Can I enter an LMP instead?
IVF charts often use an “IVF LMP” = fertilization date − 14 days, but transfer-based dating is standard. - Twins—what should I expect?
EDD is shown at 40 weeks, but many twin pregnancies deliver earlier; follow your clinician’s plan.
