Finally having a successful embryo transfer that leads to pregnancy is one of the most exciting moments of an IVF journey, but it can also bring up a lot of questions. One of the most common ones we hear following a positive pregnancy test is regarding due dates. So, how DO you calculate your due date after IVF?

As Illume nurse practitioner and fertility expert Monica Moore explains, there is a formula for figuring out your due date: the transfer date + 266 - the age of the embryo. Check out the full video to learn why this is the equation used, and how it compares to a due date calculation for a non-IVF pregnancy. We hope that this helps clear up any confusion 💙
