Pregnancy Calculator
Calculate your current pregnancy week, trimester, estimated conception date and due date from your last menstrual period.
About the Pregnancy Calculator
Doctors don't typically date a pregnancy from conception, because most people don't know the exact day it happened — they date it from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) instead, then count forward. That's what this tool does: enter your LMP and it works out how many weeks and days along you are today, which trimester that puts you in, and a due date, using the same LMP-based counting convention used at a first prenatal visit.
It's worth being upfront about what this number is and isn't. A due date from LMP alone assumes a textbook 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14, which isn't true for everyone — an early dating ultrasound is what actually refines it in real prenatal care. Treat the date here as a starting estimate, not a fixed appointment on the calendar.
People use this in the early weeks before a first ultrasound has confirmed anything, to get a rough sense of timing, or just to double check the math a midwife or app gave them. It's informational only, not a substitute for care from an OB or midwife who can confirm dates with an actual scan.
Because a last-period date is about as personal as data gets, everything here runs locally in your browser — nothing about your cycle, your due date, or the fact that you're even pregnant is transmitted anywhere or stored on a server.
How it’s calculated
The due date comes from Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last period. It's a clinical convention, not a precise prediction — only a small share of babies actually arrive on the exact calculated date.
Conception is estimated separately at LMP + 14 days, based on a typical mid-cycle ovulation. If your cycles run shorter or longer than 28 days, your actual ovulation — and true conception date — likely falls on a different day than this estimate.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a due date calculated from my last period?
It's a reasonable starting estimate assuming a 28-day cycle, but only roughly 1 in 20 pregnancies deliver on the exact calculated date — most babies arrive within about two weeks either side of it. A first-trimester ultrasound is generally considered more accurate for dating.
Why does my doctor's due date differ from this calculator's?
Providers often adjust the LMP-based date after an early ultrasound measures the fetus directly, which is more precise than counting from your last period, especially if your cycles aren't a consistent 28 days.
How is gestational age counted if I don't know exactly when I conceived?
Gestational age is measured from the first day of your last period, not from conception — so in the medical sense you're already considered about 2 weeks pregnant at the moment of actual conception.
What week does each trimester start?
The first trimester runs through week 13, the second through week 27, and the third from week 28 to full term around week 40 — this calculator places your current week into whichever trimester it falls in.
Can I use this calculator if my periods are irregular?
You can, but the estimate will be less reliable — LMP-based dating assumes fairly consistent cycles, so with irregular periods an ultrasound-based due date from your provider will be noticeably more accurate than this calculation.
