The question behind Pregnancy Calculator
People use this guide for general pregnancy date planning from the last menstrual period and cycle length.
Estimate due date, gestational age, conception window, trimester, and pregnancy milestones. One useful application is to estimate an expected due date.
Pregnancy Calculator inputs and assumptions
The Pregnancy Calculator sample starts with First day of last period 2026-04-01, Cycle length 28 days, Calculate on 2026-07-09. Replace it with values from one Pregnancy case, then verify First day of last period and Calculate on against the source information before calculating.
Using irregular cycles as exact dates; check that each value belongs to the same Pregnancy Calculator period, unit, person, account, or scenario.
- First day of last period: enter the calendar date used for this comparison. Sample: 2026-04-01.
- Cycle length: supporting value. Sample: 28 days.
- Calculate on: enter the calendar date used for this comparison. Sample: 2026-07-09.
Method used by Pregnancy Calculator
Estimates due date by adding 280 days to the last menstrual period and adjusting for cycle length.
Formula notes
Estimated due date = first day of last menstrual period + 280 days + cycle adjustmentCycle adjustment = cycle length - 28 daysGestational age = as-of date - adjusted LMP date
Worked Pregnancy example
Pregnancy Calculator can start with First day of last period 2026-04-01, Cycle length 28 days, Calculate on 2026-07-09 to estimate an expected due date.
For a second Pregnancy Calculator run, check current gestational age. Keep Pregnancy Calculator's First day of last period fixed and compare the change in Calculate on.
