This tool will calculate your due date based on your conception date.
How to Use the Conception to Due Date Calculator
To use this calculator, enter the date of conception and your average cycle length (in days). Then click the “Calculate” button. Please make sure to enter valid values to get accurate results. The results will show your estimated due date and the date of your last menstrual period (LMP).
Explanation of How It Works
The due date is calculated based on the conception date and the average cycle length. By default, pregnancy is assumed to last about 280 days (or 40 weeks) from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). The calculator adds 280 days to the conception date, adjusting for the length of your cycle.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimated due date and LMP based on standard calculations and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. It does not take into account individual health conditions or variability in menstrual cycles.
