Formula

#
Core Formula
Transfer Date + 266 days - (Embryo Age).

How it works: Specialized calculation based on the precise date of embryo transfer.

Worked Example

5-day blastocyst transfer on January 1: add 261 days (266 minus 5) to get a due date of September 19. For a 3-day embryo transfer on the same date: add 263 days (266 minus 3) for a due date of September 21. Egg retrieval date: add 266 days directly.

Calculating Your IVF Due Date

In IVF, the due date is calculated using the date of the embryo transfer and the age of the embryo at that time. This is often the most precise due date available.

  • For a 5-day transfer (Blastocyst): Add 261 days to the transfer date.
  • For a 3-day transfer: Add 263 days to the transfer date.
  • For Egg Retrieval/Fertilization: Add 266 days to the retrieval date.
  • The calculation assumes a standard 280-day pregnancy starting 14 days before fertilization.

Your IVF clinic will provide an official due date, which this tool estimates based on these industry-standard offsets.

You can also calculate changes using our Pregnancy Due Date Calculator, Gestational Age Calculator, Pregnancy Week Calculator by Due Date or Pregnancy Month Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is IVF due date different?

In natural conception, the exact day of fertilization is unknown. In IVF, the date is precise, allowing for a more accurate calculation than using the last period (LMP).

How many weeks pregnant am I after transfer?

On the day of a 5-day transfer, you are considered technically 2 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

What is a fresh vs frozen transfer?

A fresh transfer happens days after egg retrieval. A frozen embryo transfer (FET) uses cryopreserved embryos from a previous cycle. Both use the same due date formula based on embryo age at transfer.

What gestational age am I on transfer day?

On the day of a 5-day blastocyst transfer, you are considered 2 weeks and 5 days pregnant. On the day of a 3-day transfer, you are 2 weeks and 3 days pregnant. This accounts for the 14-day convention added to align IVF dating with LMP-based gestational age.

Is the IVF due date more accurate than LMP?

Yes. Because the exact date of fertilization (or transfer) is medically documented, IVF due dates are typically the most precise available. LMP-based dating assumes a standard 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14, which may not match every individual.

Is this a substitute for my fertility clinic's guidance?

No. This calculator provides standard IVF dating estimates for educational planning. Your fertility clinic will provide an official due date based on your specific treatment protocol. Always follow your healthcare provider's recommendations.
