You at 2 weeks pregnant

Your period has probably finished by now.

One of your ovaries is getting ready to release an egg. The ovaries are also producing a lot of oestrogen. Oestrogen kick-starts some important processes in your body:

• Your fallopian tubes and cervix produce ‘fertile mucus’, which helps and protects any sperm along its way.
• A new lining – the endometrium – starts growing in your uterus. A fertilised egg will bury itself in the endometrium.
• At around the end of this week, the ovary is ready to release an egg – this is called ovulation.

When should you have sex if you want to get pregnant?

You’ll be more likely to get pregnant if you have sex 1-3 days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation. Ovulation usually happens around day 14 if you have a 28-day menstrual cycle.

Can you detect pregnancy at 2 weeks?

No. You’re not actually pregnant at this stage. But your pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your period, so we call this the second week of pregnancy.
