Gestational Age Target Range Calculator
Compare a documented gestational age with an entered milestone window, show days until entry or past exit, and avoid treating a planning window as a diagnosis or delivery recommendation.
MILESTONE WINDOW
Current age and planned appointment against an entered gestational corridor
A week-and-day ruler displays the current marker, the full target band, and the delayed appointment marker without labeling the band as universally appropriate.
WINDOW ARITHMETIC
Current, entry, exit, and appointment checkpoints
Every checkpoint is converted to total gestational days before comparison.
| Checkpoint | Gestational age | Total days | Distance from current | Position vs window | Planning use |

WINDOW SETUP
Enter a milestone window from the actual care plan
- Use the clinician-documented gestational age.
- Enter both week and day at each window edge.
- Confirm whether the end is inclusive in the source plan.
- Enter the real appointment delay.
- Contact the care team if the date falls outside an important window.
PLANNING CORRIDOR
A target window is a scheduling constraint, not a biological safe zone
Some tests and appointments are time-sensitive, but the appropriate window depends on the service, indication, local protocol, and individual pregnancy.
The calculation answers only where dates fall on the gestational calendar. It does not determine whether a test is required or how to manage a missed window.
WINDOW COMPARISON
Compare exact days instead of rounding to whole weeks
Weeks plus days are converted to total gestational days. The current and planned appointment positions are compared with user-entered window edges.
Detailed calculation process and general formulas
G = 7w + dL = 7w_low + d_lowH = 7w_high + d_highgap(G,L,H) = max(L-G, 0, G-H)G_appt = G + delaySymbols, meanings, and units
- G
- current documented gestational agedays
- L
- entered window startdays
- H
- entered window enddays
- delay
- days until planned appointmentdays
- gap
- distance outside the entered windowdays
SCHEDULE CHECK
Current status and future booking are separate
The page prevents a currently valid window from hiding a late planned appointment.
Current position
—Shows whether the documented age is before, inside, or after the entered band.
Appointment position
—Advances the calendar by the entered delay.
Exact edge distance
—Uses days rather than rounding away partial weeks.
Decision takeaway: Use the result to contact the care team with exact dates, not to decide that a window is optional.
Applied decisions
Calendar checks for time-sensitive planning
Inside now, outside later
Current age is within the entered window but the planned appointment is beyond its end.
What the result clarifies: The future marker reveals the booking conflict.
Window starts soon
The current age is several days before the entered start.
What the result clarifies: The result gives an exact countdown without recommending the service.

Scope and limitations
Scheduling arithmetic only. The entered range is not validated or recommended by the calculator. Confirm all prenatal testing, imaging, vaccination, treatment, and delivery windows with the obstetric care team.
Gestational Age Target Range Calculator | Milestone Window Distance FAQ
Does the calculator know the correct test window?
No. You must enter the window supplied by the care team or authoritative local guidance.
Are week endpoints inclusive?
The calculation treats both entered edges as inclusive; confirm the source protocol.
What if I missed the window?
Contact the care team rather than assuming the service is no longer useful.
Why use total days?
It prevents partial-week rounding from moving a date across an edge.
