What you get

How the IVF due date is estimated

Enter the embryo transfer date and the embryo day (Day 3, 5 or 6). The calculator treats the embryo's age at transfer as pregnancy time already elapsed and counts forward to a 280-day term: due date = transfer date + 280 − 14 − embryo day, in days.

★Method

Transfer date plus the remaining term

A Day 5 transfer leaves 261 days to the due date; a Day 3 transfer leaves 263 and a Day 6 transfer 260. The page also works back to the implied LMP (due date minus 280 days) so it can show gestational age today and the trimester.

◎Example

Worked example

A Day 5 transfer on 10 March 2026 gives an estimated due date of Thursday 26 November 2026, with an implied LMP of 19 February 2026. On 20 October 2026 that is 34 weeks, 5 days — 37 days before the due date.

⌁Limits

The embryo day shifts the answer

The same 10 March 2026 transfer at Day 3 gives 28 November 2026, two days later, so check the embryo day before relying on the date. This is an estimate from the standard 280-day model; as the calculator itself notes, clinical and ultrasound dating take precedence.

How to use it

Three steps to a result you can defend

Enter the transfer date and embryo day, then select Calculate. Each step below is a short action rather than a wall of explanation.

Calculation method

What happens after you press Calculate

Work backwards to the implied last menstrual period, then apply the standard 280-day model forward.

How information moves through the page

The numbers come from your inputs; this shows the shape of the calculation.

Input AEmbryo transfer date

Enter the date of the embryo transfer — the due date is counted forward from it.

Input BEmbryo age at transfer

Choose Day 3, Day 5 or Day 6: the embryo's age counts as pregnancy time already elapsed, so a Day 5 transfer leaves 261 days to the due date and a Day 3 leaves 263.

ResultIVF Due Date

Transfer date + 280 − 14 − embryo day: a Day 5 transfer on 10 March 2026 gives an estimated due date of Thursday 26 November 2026. An estimate from the standard 280-day model; clinical and ultrasound dating can differ.

Common questions

IVF Due Date Calculator FAQ

Answers about method, inputs, privacy, boundaries and responsible interpretation.

How is an IVF due date calculated?

The calculator treats the embryo's age at transfer as pregnancy time already elapsed and counts forward to a 280-day term: due date = transfer date + 280 - 14 - embryo day, in days. A Day 5 transfer therefore leaves 261 days to the due date, a Day 3 transfer leaves 263, and a Day 6 transfer leaves 260.

Why are 14 days subtracted in the formula?

Gestational age is counted from the first day of the last period, roughly 14 days before conception. The embryo day counts the days since conception, so adding those 14 days puts the transfer on the same gestational-age clock that the 280-day model uses.

What does the worked example give?

A Day 5 transfer on 10 March 2026 gives an estimated due date of Thursday 26 November 2026, with an implied LMP of 19 February 2026. On 20 October 2026 that is a gestational age of 34 weeks, 5 days, with 37 days left to the due date.

What happens if I pick the wrong embryo day?

The due date moves with it. The same 10 March 2026 transfer at Day 3 gives 28 November 2026, two days later than the Day 5 result, so check the embryo day from your treatment record before relying on the date.

How reliable is this due date?

It is an estimate from the standard 280-day model, worked out from the transfer date and embryo day alone. Clinical dating and ultrasound measurements take precedence over any calculator.
