Gestational Age Calculator

Enter Last menstrual period (LMP), Current date and Cycle length (days) and the remaining scenario settings to review gestational age with this tool. Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks.

Formula Used

Age = Current date − Date of birth, adjusted for whether the birthday has occurred this year.

How the formula is applied

The calculation links Last menstrual period (LMP), Current date and Cycle length (days) to gestational age. Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks. Different reference methods include different starting assumptions.

Calculator Description

Enter Last menstrual period (LMP), Current date and Cycle length (days) and the remaining scenario settings to review gestational age with this tool. Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks.

Calculate elapsed pregnancy weeks and days from the selected dating reference. Keep gestational age separate from time since conception.

Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks. Different reference methods include different starting assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information do I need for the Gestational Age Calculator?

Prepare Last menstrual period (LMP), Current date, Cycle length (days) and Method. Select the reference type, enter its date and check the date for which gestational age is requested.

Is gestational age counted from conception?

Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks. Different reference methods include different starting assumptions. Uncertain dates and clinician-established dating can change interpretation. The calculator cannot evaluate fetal development or pregnancy health.

How can I check the gestational age calculator with an example?

Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Gestational Age: 10 weeks 0 days. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.

Which assumptions apply to this gestational age calculator?

The displayed relationship is Age = Current date − Date of birth, adjusted for whether the birthday has occurred this year. Select the reference type, enter its date and check the date for which gestational age is requested.

When should I verify the gestational age calculator result elsewhere?

Uncertain dates and clinician-established dating can change interpretation. The calculator cannot evaluate fetal development or pregnancy health. For personal care, discuss the measurements and method with a qualified clinician.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Select the reference type, enter its date and check the date for which gestational age is requested.
  2. Fill in Last menstrual period (LMP), Current date, Cycle length (days) and Method. Use the field units rather than copying an unlabeled value.
  3. For a result check, reproduce the example beginning with Last menstrual period (LMP) = 2026-01-01 and Current date = 2026-03-12; copy the remaining settings from the detailed guide.
  4. Use the page's Calculate or Convert control, or read the updated result where the tool recalculates automatically. Locate Gestational Age and any supporting breakdown.
  5. Interpret the result with this distinction in mind: Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks. Keep the selected inputs alongside the output when comparing scenarios.

Practical example and result check

Worked gestational age calculator example. Set Last menstrual period (LMP) = 2026-01-01; Current date = 2026-03-12; Cycle length (days) = 28; Method = Naegele's Rule (LMP). The corresponding output is Gestational Age: 10 weeks 0 days. Weeks-and-days notation describes elapsed time, so 10 weeks and 4 days is not 10.4 decimal weeks.

Before relying on the result

  • Confirm the units, dates, rates and time periods entered.
  • Review which costs, measurements or assumptions are included and excluded.
  • Change one important input at a time to understand the result sensitivity.
