 The Luteal Phase:-
The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle spans the time between ovulation and the onset of the next menses. The luteal phase, also referred to as 'days past ovulation' or 'DPO', is the part of the cycle that starts at ovulation and ends the day before your next period. In simple terms the luteal phase is the length of time between when you ovulate and your next period. It usually lasts about 14 days and does not vary by more than a day in each person.If you are not sure about the length of your luteal phase, you can assume it is 14 days (this is the average length for most women). For some women this time is always 10, 11 or 12 days, others may be 14, 15 or 16 days. The point is that your luteal phase rarely changes by more than a couple of days. |
Gestational age:-
Gestational age is the time measured from the first day of the woman's last menstrual cycle to the current date and is measured in weeks. A pregnancy of normal gestation is approximately 40 weeks, with a normal range of 38 to 42 weeks. The calculator assumes normal health and pregnancy conditons.
Fetal age:-
Fetal age is calculated as today's date minus conception date plus two weeks. |
