Crown Rump Length Calculator

The Crown Rump Length Calculator estimates gestational age and due date based on embryo length and the measurement date. This tool helps obstetricians and expectant parents accurately track pregnancy progress and confirm dating. Whether you are verifying an early ultrasound, assessing growth percentiles, or comparing LMP dates, this calculator provides reliable clinical insights.

How Estimated Gestational Age Is Calculated

Estimated Gestational Age is calculated by measuring the length of the embryo from the top of the head to the bottom of the buttocks. This measurement uses the Robinson and Fleming formula to convert millimeters into weeks and days.

GA = 8.052 × √(CRL) + 23.73

Where:

  • GA = Gestational Age in days
  • CRL = Crown Rump Length in millimeters

First, the tool takes your Crown Rump Length input in millimeters. Then, it applies the mathematical equation to determine the exact age of the pregnancy. This method is highly accurate for dating pregnancies between 7 and 14 weeks because it relies on actual fetal growth rather than just calendar dates.

What Your Estimated Gestational Age Means

This result tells you the specific stage of pregnancy development. It helps you confirm if the baby is growing at the expected rate for that time frame.

Early Pregnancy (5 to 9 Weeks): At this stage, the embryo is very small, so a slight difference in measurement can change the dates by a few days. This is a good time to confirm the pregnancy viability.

Optimal Dating Window (10 to 14 Weeks): Measurements taken here are the most accurate for setting a due date. If the ultrasound age differs from your last period by more than 5 days, doctors usually reset the due date based on this scan.

Growth Percentiles: A percentile between 10 and 90 is considered average. Scores below 10 may indicate the baby is measuring smaller than average, while scores above 90 suggest they are larger than average.

Important: Ultrasound dating becomes more accurate than menstrual dates as pregnancy progresses.
