![]() (You don’t have to have twins for your risk of premature labor to go up.) This is true even for singleton pregnancies. They are at a higher risk of premature labor, which can be threatening to your baby’s health. Women who struggled to conceive are more likely to give birth early. Unfortunately, preterm labor is a risk of infertility and IVF-assisted conception. While you might hope that you will get to see your baby sooner than later, you wouldn’t want them to be born too early. ![]() Other studies say 282 days (or 40 weeks and 2 days) is better. ![]() Some studies say 280 days (or 40 weeks) is the best guess for a due date. With the exception of IVF, we have no idea when it happens. Primarily, this is because the moment of conception is hidden. You may also be surprised to learn that we don’t know for certain how long human gestation is. The time of implantation can also affect how long you’ll be pregnant. Studies have found that ovulation can occur a few days off from what a positive ovulation test or BBT chart indicates.Īlso, implantation of the embryo also varies. You might know when you got a positive ovulation test result, or you might know when your basal body temperature chart indicated ovulation. With Clomid or intrauterine insemination ( IUI), you might know when you had your trigger shot. Even with fertility treatment, we don’t really know when you conceived unless you did IVF. Most due dates are calculated based on the last menstrual period and assume you ovulated exactly 14 days later. We aren’t able to predict the day a baby will be born with 100% accuracy, even when you conceived with fertility treatment. Only 5 out of 100 babies are born on their assigned due date. You’ll soon learn, however, that due dates are more like due periods. When you first receive your due date, you might think that’s going to be the day. Think of your due date more like a due period. ![]()
