Pregnancy week 2

Early pregnancy: week 2 of being pregnant - You will be at your most fertile by the end of the week.

Found in:

Discuss pregnancy week 2 on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.

You

If you have a 28 day menstrual cycle you are likely to be at your most fertile by the end of the week. This is because ovulation typically occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle (days 12-16), so this is when you are most likely to conceive.

During the week your uterine lining will develop (this provides nourishment for your baby) and you begin to secrete the hormone FSH which will stimulate your egg to mature.

Your baby

By the end of the week fertilisation may have taken place.

Oh my God! Exactly the same going on here. My last period was 19th Jan, I felt as though I was ovulating on 2nd Feb, having had sex the night before. I now feel breathless, pee a lot, struggle to do up my jeans, can't stop eating chocolate (could explain the jeans!) and have tingling breasts...... I stupidly wasted a pregnancy test last week cause I got over excited. It came out negative - but I'm still convinced I am. I'm going to wait til end of Feb and then take another. What's your progress? D

I wonder if any one could offer me some advice. My last period started on 17th January, and it only lasted a few days. The following week I really felt as if I was ovulating, and now I really feel pregnant. However, I should not have ovulated until this week. I have really sore nipples with small lumps which are really painful, I can't do any of my clothes up and I am really tired aswell as constipated. Could I be pregnant or is it not possible yet? Would a pregnancy test work at this early stage? thank you.
