Calculating The Date of Birth after IVF

The initial correspond to IVF in vitro fertilization. The IVF procedure is a technique of fertility used to help infertile couples become pregnant. During this procedure the woman takes fertility drugs, which are responsible for stimulating the production of eggs. Once mature, the eggs are extracted from the body, fertilized with sperm from her partner and then implanted in the uterus. After implantation, the woman can get pregnant and expecting a child or more. The due date of a woman who becomes pregnant after in vitro fertilization can be calculated easily.

   

Instructions

1.      Make sure you have noted all the correct dates. The most important date you need to know is the recovery. Recovery is the exact day the eggs were extracted from your body or someone who has donated. This date is not the one you started taking the medication. The only matters is the extraction of the eggs. If you are calculating the due date of a pregnancy generated from a frozen embryo, you can subtract three days the eggs were implanted into your uterus.
   

  2.    Subtract 15 days from the date of recovery. Do this even if you've been taking medication for those days. This period is considered the day of your LMP or last menstrual period. Take note of this day in a calendar to count easily.


 3.     Once you have those days, you can calculate your due date. Most pregnancies last between 38 and 42 weeks. Add 40 weeks from the date of your last menstrual period. That is going to be your date of birth.


4.    Just  Calculate your due date. For example, if you have implanted the fertilized eggs on January 1st, your last menstrual period must have been the December 16, or two weeks before implantation. This would make the second trimester of your pregnancy begins March 12. The third quarter beginning on June 23. The estimated due date would be around September 24. All delivery dates are not exact.


5.      Subtract 3 weeks if you are expecting twins. A normal pregnancy lasts about such 37 weeks. If you are expecting triplets, subtract 3 weeks. If more than three children, ask your doctor about your due date. The due date of a multiple pregnancy varies for each person.
