How this is worked out

7 steps
  1. Ovulation is one luteal phase before the next period would start: 28 - 14 = day 14 of the cycle, so 2026-01-15.
  2. Estimated due date = ovulation + 266 days.
  3. With a 28-day cycle this is exactly Naegele's rule: LMP + 280 days.
  4. Gestational age on 2026-06-01 = 2026-06-01 - 2026-01-01 = 151 days.
  5. 151 days = 21 completed weeks and 4 day(s), written 21 4/7 weeks.
  6. Fetal (conceptional) age is 14 days less: 137 days.
  7. Days to the due date = 280 - 151 = 129.
