2 Weeks Pregnant

 2 Weeks Pregnant

There is a lot of confusion around the first few weeks of pregnancy and when to start counting. For example, if you think you are in the second week of your pregnancy, you are either four or five weeks along. This is because most OBs begin counting your pregnancy on the first day of your last menstrual cycle (LMP). That is a week or two before you conceive.

What to Expect in the Second Week

Symptoms

Getting pregnant requires you to time the sex around the time when you are most fertile, which is usually two days before you ovulate on the day you ovulate. If you have 28 days cycle, you’ll most likely ovulate on day 15. But not everybody has a 28-day cycle, So ovulation depends on the length of the menstrual cycle.

At two weeks, ovulation signs will help you figure out when is the right time to have sex and, ideally, conceive a child. In case you notice these symptoms in your second week since your menstrual cycle started, then there is a high chance that you are ovulating:

  • Cervical Mucus: Your cervical mucus, that is, the discharge from your vagina, becomes the consistency of an uncooked egg white. (Sorry for that mental image).

As you get close to your ovulation, your cervical mucus becomes thin, more clear and stringy. This helps the sperm to travel toward the egg or ovum and fertilize it.

  • A more acute sense of smell: Hormonal changes increase your ability to detect various scents. Your sense of smell will increase, and some smells may even cause nausea.
  • Sensitive or soreness of the breasts: When ovulation starts, the associated hormones rise in your body, making your breasts feel a little tender.
  • Pelvic discomfort. You can experience slightly sharp pain on one side of your abdomen. This is usually a sign that your ovary is releasing an egg. This is the condition known as Mittelschmerz, which was named after the doctor who was the first to record it.
  • Blood Spotting: As your body prepares or is ovulating, you will notice a faint tinge of red or brown on your panties. This spotting is normal; however, inform your doctor if you find something more severe than random spotting in between your periods or if the spotting is regular.
  • Your sex drive has increased: During ovulation, it is normal to have a higher libido. Your body is preparing to conceive as you ovulate, and it is natural that you will increasingly feel the need to have sex.
  • Changes in the cervical region When you check your cervix on a daily basis, as women who are trying to conceive do, you can see a difference when it dilates and higher, open, and softer open when you are ovulating.
