Sometimes, starting a family requires a little extra assistance from a reproductive endocrinologist or a fertility specialist. People who use <\/span>assisted reproductive technology (ART)<\/span><\/a>, which includes fertility treatments involving eggs or embryos, have to learn a lot of details about fertilization and implantation that they never thought they\u2019d need to know. If you conceive via in vitro fertilization (IVF), your due date calculation will change to factor in this conception process.<\/span><\/p>\n

IVF due date vs. natural conception due date<\/h2>\n

Although it varies from woman to woman, a typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, or about 280 days. When you get pregnant without the assistance of IVF, there are several ways to figure out your due date based on your menstrual cycle or the date of conception. The most common strategy is to count forward 280 days from the first day of your last period (assuming that you remember that piece of information).This method works well if you have regular menstrual periods, but is less reliable for those with irregular cycles. Or to make it easy on yourself, you can use a natural conception pregnancy <\/span>due date calculator<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, when you go through the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer process, your IVF due date will be two weeks shorter because you don\u2019t account for the last menstrual period or ovulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince a last period doesn\u2019t say much about when you actually get pregnant following IVF, the due date following IVF is calculated based on the \u2018age\u2019 of the embryo, usually day 3 or day 5, and when the embryo is transferred,\u201d explains <\/span>Jessica Ryniec<\/span><\/a>, MD, an OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist at CCRM Boston. \u201cThis makes the due date from IVF more accurate to predicting 40 weeks of pregnancy because we know closer to when the person conceived.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
