Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the estimated due date?
It is a population-level estimate: only around 4% of babies arrive on their exact due date. Ultrasound dating by a clinician is more precise.
Why does cycle length shift the due date?
The rule assumes ovulation 14 days before the next period. Longer cycles imply later ovulation, so the estimate moves by (cycle − 28) days.
Is this medical advice?
No. This tool is informational only — always confirm dates with a healthcare professional.
Examples
- Last period started on 1 March 2026, 28-day cycle
- Due date 6 December 2026 — 280 days (40 weeks) after the first day of that period. Conception most likely happened around 15 March 2026.
- The same start date with a 32-day cycle
- Due date 10 December 2026. Each day the cycle runs past 28 moves ovulation, and with it the due date, one day later.
