Frequently Asked Questions

Only about 5% of babies arrive exactly on their due date — most arrive within a couple weeks before or after. It assumes a regular 28-day cycle, so it is less accurate for irregular cycles. This is an estimate only, not a substitute for medical advice.

Conception date is rarely known precisely, but the start of the last period is easier to remember and correlates predictably with typical ovulation timing.
