How does Naegele’s Rule calculate the due date?
Naegele’s Rule is the clinical standard: It adds 7 days to the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), subtracts 3 months, and adds 1 year. This tool automates this process with 100% precision.
What is Parikh’s Formula and why is it more accurate?
Parikh’s Formula adjusts for cycle length variance. While Naegele assumes a 28-day cycle, Parikh calculates the due date as LMP + 9 months + (Cycle Length - 21 days), making it superior for irregular cycles.
When is the most fertile window for conception in 2026?
The fertile window typically spans 6 days: the 5 days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Sperm can survive up to 5 days, making the lead-up time critical.
Is my fertility data private on RapidDocTools?
Yes. RapidDocTools uses 100% client-side logic. Your dates, cycle data, and search history never leave your browser for an anonymous, HIPAA-inspired experience.
What is Wood’s Method for due dates?
Wood’s Method adjusts for parity—whether you have gave birth before. First pregnancies typically last slightly longer, and this formula accounts for that clinical nuance.
Can I use this for irregular periods?
Absolutely. By entering your average cycle length (e.g., 32 or 35 days), the tool automatically switches to Parikh’s Formula for a more accurate prediction.
