Determination of the project estimated date of delivery (EDD)/gestational age

Circumstance of pregnancy dating before visit Final project EDD based on

Unsure LMP CRL measured (cm) and put into Hadlock formula35: exp[1.684969+(0.315646CRL)-(0.049306CRLCRL)+(0.004057CRLCRLCRL)-(0.000120456CRLCRLCRLCRL)
Project EDD = Project ultrasound date + (280 – ultrasound estimated gestational age in days

“Sure” LMP CRL measured confirming LMP or changing the EDD.

Project EDD = LMP +28 days if confirmed.
If not, Project EDD = ultrasound EDD

Cutoffs utilized:
EGA at 1st ultrasound by LMP Project US agreement with LMP

<70 weeks ±3 days

70 to 75 weeks ±4 days

80 to 106 weeks ±5 days

110 to 126 weeks ±6 days

130 weeks or more ±7 days

Pregnancy conceived using artificial insemination Project EDD = Date of insemination + 266 days

Pregnancy conceived by in-vitro fertilization For a “3-day” fresh/frozen embryo replacement date:
  • Project EDD = embryo replacement date + 263 days

For a “5-day” fresh/frozen replacement date:
  • Project EDD = embryo replacement date + 261 days

LMP= last normal menstrual period; CRL = crown rump length measured by 1st trimester ultrasound; EDD = estimated due date; US = ultrasound
