Pregnancy Weeks Calculator โ€“ How it works

This pregnancy weeks calculator estimates your current gestational age based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) and the average length of your cycle. It also applies Naegele's rule, adjusted for your cycle when necessary, to provide an estimated due date (EDD) and show your progress across the three trimesters.

Why gestational age is counted from the LMP

In clinical practice, gestational age is traditionally counted from the first day of your last menstrual period, not from the date of conception. Ovulation and fertilization are difficult to pinpoint precisely, while the menstrual period is a clear and easily remembered reference. For most people with regular cycles, this method provides a reliable standard for prenatal care and ultrasound scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gestational age is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from the date of conception. This is because it is difficult to know exactly when ovulation and fertilization happened, while your period is a clear and reliable reference point.

  • 1st trimester: Weeks 1 to 13 (formation of the main organs).
  • 2nd trimester: Weeks 14 to 26 (rapid growth and more noticeable movements).
  • 3rd trimester: Weeks 27 to 40 (weight gain and preparation for birth).

People with cycles longer or shorter than 28 days may ovulate earlier or later. The calculator uses your informed cycle length to adjust the estimated due date, but your doctor and ultrasound exams remain the most reliable sources for confirming gestational age.
