Your actual delivery date could change up to two weeks before or after this date, unless you deliver prematurely.
Health professionals usually estimate due date based upon a 28 day cycle.

*The
Luteal Phase is a term that is used in describing the
time period that's calculated from the day after ovulation
and runs through the remainder of a monthly cycle. This
phase usually lasts between 12 and 16 days and is fairly
consistent within woman's cycle.
It is also frequently referred to as "days past ovulation" or "DPO". During the luteal phase a women produces progesterone increasing her temperature. The higher temperature acts like an incubator which is important in maturing a fertilized egg if conception has occurred.
