ℹ️ About this Calculation

This obstetrics and gynecology calculator provides accurate gestational dating, fetal biometry estimations, risk stratification, and maternal health tracking based on ACOG guidelines and clinical ultrasonography standards.

Variable Glossary

Input

Clinical Parameters

Last menstrual period (LMP), ultrasound biometric measurements (CRL, BPD, AC, FL), or lab hCG levels.

Parameter

Obstetric Metrics

Estimated due date (EDD), gestational age in weeks/days, fetal growth percentiles, and risk scores.

How to Calculate Step-by-Step

1

Step 1

Enter your last menstrual period (LMP) date or ultrasound biometry values.

2

Step 2

Select cycle length parameters or maternal clinical characteristics if required.

3

Step 3

Review calculated due date timeline, milestone projections, or risk scores immediately.

FAQ

How is an estimated due date (EDD) calculated?
EDD is calculated using Naegele's rule (LMP + 280 days), adjusted for cycle length, or calibrated directly via first-trimester crown-rump length (CRL) ultrasound.
How fast should hCG levels double in early pregnancy?
In viable early pregnancies, serum hCG typically doubles every 48 to 72 hours when concentrations are below 6,000 mIU/mL.
Should online tools replace obstetric care?
No. These calculators are designed for educational guidance and tracking. Regular prenatal checkups with an obstetrician or certified midwife are essential for maternal-fetal health.
