This tool will help you estimate your due date based on your last menstrual period (LMP).
How to Use the LMP Calculator
To use this calculator, input the date of the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Then, enter your average cycle length in days. The default value for the average cycle length is 28 days, but this can be adjusted if your cycle is shorter or longer.
Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated due date (EDD) and the end dates of the first and second trimesters.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the date of your LMP and your average cycle length to estimate your due date and the trimesters. It assumes a 28-day cycle length by default. The estimated due date (EDD) is calculated by adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the LMP. The end of the first trimester is calculated as approximately 13 weeks from the LMP, and the end of the second trimester is calculated as approximately 27 weeks from the LMP.
Limitations
Note that this calculator provides an estimate based on general assumptions. Cycle lengths can vary, and not all pregnancies follow the same timeline. For a more accurate assessment, please consult a healthcare provider.
