Why Our IVF Due Date Calculator is More Accurate

Based on Known Dates

Our IVF calculator for due dates uses the exact date of your embryo transfer—a known, fixed point in time, not an estimate.

Precise Embryo Age

The calculation is fine-tuned for a 3-day, 5-day, or 6-day transfer, adjusting the timeline for ultimate accuracy.

Unmatched Accuracy

Because it's based on facts, our FET and IVF due date calculator is typically more accurate than any other method.

Understanding IVF Due Date Calculation

Unlike natural conception, IVF due dates are calculated from known fertilization dates, making them more precise.

Why IVF Dates Are Different

In IVF, we know the exact fertilization date and embryo development stage. This eliminates the guesswork involved in calculating from the last menstrual period, where ovulation timing can vary by several days.

Embryo Development Stages

Day 3 embryos are typically at the 8-cell stage, while Day 5-6 embryos have developed into blastocysts with 100+ cells. This developmental difference is precisely accounted for in our calculations.

Fresh vs Frozen Transfers

Our calculator works for both fresh and frozen embryo transfers (FET). The calculation method remains the same - what matters is the embryo age at the time of transfer.

Understanding Embryo Development in IVF

Learn about the biological stages of embryo development and why timing matters for your IVF journey.

Day 3: Early Stage Development (8-cell)

At Day 3, embryos typically consist of 6-10 cells. These early-stage embryos are still developing and have not yet formed distinct cell types. Transfer at this stage is common when embryo selection is clear or when extended culture is not recommended.

Day 5-6: Blastocyst Formation (100+ cells)

Blastocysts have developed two distinct cell types: the inner cell mass (future baby) and trophectoderm (future placenta). This advanced development stage allows for better embryo selection and typically higher implantation rates.

Fresh vs Frozen Embryo Transfers

Modern vitrification techniques allow frozen embryos to maintain excellent viability. Success rates between fresh and frozen transfers are now comparable, with FET sometimes showing advantages in certain protocols.

Why Embryo Age Matters

The embryo's developmental stage at transfer directly impacts the due date calculation. Each day of in-lab development equals one day less in the uterus, which is why our calculator adjusts precisely based on your embryo age.
