IVF Due Date Calculator

Estimate your IVF due date and gestational age from the embryo transfer or egg retrieval date, with day 3, day 5, and day 6 transfer options.

IVF Due Date Calculator

A day 5 blastocyst is the most common transfer, fresh or frozen (FET).

Enter your embryo transfer date and embryo age to see your estimated due date.

Frequently Asked Questions about the IVF Due Date Calculator

How does the IVF due date calculator work?
An IVF pregnancy is dated from the day of fertilization, which is embryo day 0, plus 266 days. For an embryo transfer the embryo is already a few days old, so a day 3 transfer adds 263 days, a day 5 adds 261, and a day 6 adds 260. For an egg retrieval the tool adds the full 266 days because fertilization happens that same day.
Why is an IVF due date more precise than a standard LMP estimate?
With IVF the exact day of fertilization is known from your transfer or retrieval date, so there is no guesswork about when you ovulated. Standard Naegele dating assumes a 28-day cycle and ovulation 14 days after your last period, which can be off by several days if your cycle is shorter or longer.
How do I count weeks pregnant after IVF?
Gestational age is measured from a virtual last menstrual period placed 14 days before fertilization, which is the standard obstetric convention. By that scale you are already about 2 to 3 weeks along on your transfer day. The tool reports your current weeks and days plus your trimester.
Does a frozen embryo transfer (FET) change the due date?
No. For dating, only the embryo's age at transfer matters, not whether it was fresh or frozen. A day 5 blastocyst is dated the same way whether it is a fresh transfer or an FET, so just pick the embryo day (3, 5, or 6) that matches your transfer.
How accurate is the estimated due date?
The estimated due date is a midpoint, not a deadline. Only about 1 in 20 babies arrive on the exact date. Current obstetric terminology splits term birth into early term from 37w0d to 38w6d, full term from 39w0d to 40w6d, late term from 41w0d to 41w6d, and postterm from 42w0d. For IVF, the documented due date is ordinarily based on embryo age and transfer date. Confirm the date your clinic has recorded.
Is this calculator a substitute for medical advice?
No. It is for general education and planning only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For an IVF pregnancy, your fertility clinic's documented date based on embryo age and transfer date controls. Always follow your care team's guidance.
