IVF Due Date Calculator – Women in Balance

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.
