Pregnancy Calendar Generator

Most due dates are calculated as being "40 weeks from your last period" but it would be more accurate to say it's 38 weeks after you ovulate.

If you know when you ovulate, we'll use that date.

Otherwise, we count 14 days back from your next period (found with your average cycle length) to find the day you probably ovulated. If you know this phase (the luteal phase) isn't 14 days, then you can determine your ovulation date and use that instead.

Please note that your doctor will probably use the traditional calculation. If so, you can match due dates by putting the first day of your last period and picking a cycle length of 28 days.

And if you already have a due date and would like to work backwards, we can now do that too!

I am simply an enthusiast (of pregnancy and of coding answers to my own questions, like what's the earliest I could conceive and still be in a wedding next summer) and this generator is meant for entertainment purposes only.

I am defining trimesters as weeks 0-11, 12-27, and 28-40, inclusive.

 

Printing Tips

If you want to print your calendar, be sure to use Print Preview and only choose the pages you need. I should have successfully programmed in page breaks where they are useful.
You will probably need to change a setting in Page Setup to "Print Background (Colors and images)" or something similar.
