IVF Due Date Calculator

Find your IVF due date from the embryo transfer date and embryo age (day 3, 5 or 6), the egg retrieval date or an IUI date. Example: a day-5 embryo transferred on March 10, 2026 gives a due date of November 26, 2026.

Formula and method

IVF due date = transfer date + (280 – 14 – embryo age) days. Day-3: +263, day-5: +261, day-6: +260 days. From retrieval or IUI: +266 days.

Days to add by method

Method Days to add Why
Day 3 transfer 263 14 + 3 = 17 days of gestation at transfer
Day 5 transfer 261 14 + 5 = 19 days
Day 6 transfer 260 14 + 6 = 20 days
Egg retrieval / IUI 266 14 days at fertilization

Frozen versus fresh transfers

The calculation is the same: the age of the embryo at transfer decides the due date, not whether it was frozen.

When to expect early scans

A pregnancy test about 9 to 14 days after a day-5 transfer, then hCG checks and an ultrasound around 6 to 7 weeks. This calculator is for education and is not medical advice. Your own doctor, midwife or pediatrician should guide decisions about your care.
