2 weeks of pregnancy is the 1st month, or the 1st trimester.


What to Expect at 2 Weeks Pregnant

At this time an ovum, which later will be fertilized, gets formed. It is located in a bubble, which changes in size as the time goes and clearly stands out from the ovary. These preparations are determined by the upcoming ovulation. After getting through the oviduct, spermatozoon contacts with an ovum. The probability of conception increases multiple times during ovulation, normally it is the period of 14 days before menstruation onwards.

To increase the probability of conception, both partners must properly prepare for the coitus. A man must necessarily avoid having a coitus, as well as masturbation, for 3-4 days prior to the attempt of conception. It will increase the amount of spermatozoa in his sperm. For a woman it is important not to do any treatment procedures involving taking medicine.

Environment of the vagina is already aggressive enough in relation to spermatozoa. Antibiotics and hormonal medicine intake will only increase the negative effect on spermatozoa and can cause such negative consequences as their total death, thus interrupting the conception process.

During the process of conception, partners may use any convenient position, which brings maximum pleasure to both of them. But you should remember that after the sperm gets into the vagina, the woman should better lie on her back with her legs lifted up and leaned against the wall. This action will help increase the chances of the sperm getting into the cervix.


Information Which May be Useful at 2 Weeks of Pregnancy:


What Happens to the Fetus

2 Weeks Pregnant 1

Talking about the fetus itself on the week 2 of pregnancy is too early yet. It is more like just an ovum, fertilized by sperm. And when this ovum gets into the uterus, it begins its development process and becomes an embryo. I.e. it turns into an actual pregnancy.

A two-week-term pregnancy is very dangerous, because there is a high risk of termination of pregnancy. The fertilized ovum may be let out with other discharge, and a so-called miscarriage happens.

Since the fetus itself does not take place yet, getting tested at such an early stage is pointless. It is plain waste of time and money, which brings no results. Instead, it can only make you tired and anxious.

Getting tested on the level of hCG will not be helpful, but a special test on progesterone level can be effective during the first two weeks. This hormone is responsible for preparing feminine uterus for development of a fetus and for formation of placenta.

Doing an ultrasonic examination will also not provide the desired results. The only thing which can be discovered is an increased in size follicle. Normally, women go through such examination only if their pregnancy is planned, and if they used to have problems with pregnancy, for example, a miscarriage.

First Two Weeks Pregnancy

Most of modern women want to become mothers. Good maternity means that your child is born healthy, from a loved one, and at a right time. it happens that not all women are able to have this wonderful feeling in their lives and to be called mother.

It is related to certain difficulties:

  • poor ecology;
  • stressful state;
  • hereditary infertility;
  • unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, drugs).

However, in spite of all these negative factors, pregnancy still can develop, but it is impossible to predict the consequences of such pregnancy. A child may be born absolutely healthy as if there were no threats at all, but, just as well, the child may have birth defects, disabilities, or be handicapped.

A lady who leads normal lifestyle and decides to become mother may also face problems with pregnancy. Prevention of such problems is a matter of qualified medical doctors' competence. Going to a medical institution at a right time may help save the future child and protect him from possible deviations.

How conception happens, and which key things a woman at an early stage of pregnancy needs to know?

After the department of an ovum from the ovary, the life of the former is not very long. If it does not meet an active spermatozoon, it will die and be discharged from the organism. Spermatozoa have longer lifespans (up to 4 days), so, it can meet another ovum. The first and the second weeks of pregnancy are the riskiest during the woman’s pregnancy. That is why the woman should be careful, and should not overwork physically, morally, and emotionally.

Taking a Pregnancy Test

It is better to take a pregnancy test two weeks after the coitus which approximately is supposed to be the one says resulted in a conception, if, of course, you do not use the newest methods of detecting pregnancy at early stages.

You should not forget that ovulation itself is only a condition for fertilizing an ovum, not the conception. Ovulation period is a period of time which aids the conception. There are only 4-6 days like that in a month. So, the chances to get pregnant are not that big.

Bleeding and Spotting at 2 Weeks Pregnant

What is the cause of discharge in the second week after conception?

There are three main causes of bleeding in the second week of pregnancy:

Embryo Implantation

Embryo implantation is the introduction of an ovum into the inner wall of the uterus, in the superficial layer, for its further development during the subsequent pregnancy.

Only fertilized ovum intrudes into the uterus wall. This process is accompanied by some minor damage of surface tissues, causing bleeding. In principle, it is also hard to call it bleeding: it is more likely just a few drops of blood appearing periodically. Sometimes the process drags out for a couple of days, but no more than this period.

Lack of Hormones

The lack of hormones means precisely the hormones that are produced by the growing placenta. These hormones inhibit the menstrual cycle, as a result, a woman forgets about it for a long time. However, many women at early pregnancy have their monthly period in due time, but it differs in its meagre quantity compared with the usual monthly flux. This is because the phenomenon that at such an early stage, the placenta is still unable to produce as much hormones as it is needed to the complete interruption of the menstrual cycle.

Rejection of an Embryo

Rejection of an embryo can occur for different reasons. In such a case, a woman simply starts menstruating prematurely.

The Risk of Menstruation on the Second Week of Pregnancy

If the discharge is related to an implantation or lack of hormones, it's not so terrible: over time, all these processes are normalized. However, more severe bleeding tells about abortion or its threat and requires immediate hospitalization, assuming that a woman knows about her pregnancy.

Toxicosis of Pregnancy on the Second Week

60 % of pregnant women face the problem of morning sick. The exact reason for its occurrence is still not found. It is believed that a sudden hormonal adjustment of an organism that affects the central nervous system is the main cause of it. More often, the toxicosis of pregnancy starts in the second week of pregnancy and ends abruptly at the twelfth week of pregnancy.

Besides, its peak falls on the eighth-ninth week. Women suffering from toxicosis complain about morning sickness, vomiting, qualmish state throughout a day. Though this condition is exacerbated in the stuffy not enough ventilated premises, transport, as well as when there are various sharp odors including flavor of food (even if it is quite tasty).

No link was found between any of the features of pregnancy and toxicosis, but it has been noticed that it manifests in the first pregnancy in women with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, women-smokers, women living in big cities. The toxicosis can be absent, develop poorly, but if the condition is so critical that a pregnant woman vomits constantly, such state may require hospitalization.

In such a case, doctors assign a supportive therapy in the form of infusions, preparations of homeopathy and vitamin therapy. How to help yourself when you encounter toxicosis in the second week of pregnancy?

To easily pass through this state, you should follow several rules that are easy to comply with, namely:

  • eating should be frequent but in small portions. There should be not less than three breaks for a snack during a day.
  • consumed food should be light, not greasy, but at the same time calorific and balanced (boiled meat, dairy products, whole grain products, vegetables, fruit).
  • food should be of the optimal temperature. It is advisable to avoid the consumption of too hot food, including hot drinks.
  • do not load up before the night. The last meal is desirable not later than 8-9 pm.
  • the first meal (nosh) should be not be getting up from the bed. After taking it, it is advisable to stay in bad for 5-10 minutes more.
  • your sleep should be a full-fledged, not less than eight hours.
  • water use should be consumed in a sufficient quantity (about two liters per day), it is preferred non-carbonated, mineral one.
  • humbugs, slices of lemon, grapefruit, orange, ginger tea, sweet crackers are very helpful to grapple with toxicosis. Cranberry juice is also very useful.

How to Find Out About a Successful Conception?

Can you finding out your pregnant at 2 weeks? It is very easy: a period delay happens. Along with that, you may have some unusual discharge in forms of clear or bloody mucus. A blood discharge in small amounts may indicate the ovum attachment to the uterus wall.

One of the not so good signs of the course of pregnancy is an abundant blood discharge. It indicates problems, possibly some illness. But such indicator may also be related to an ovary malfunctioning, or to the beginning of an inflammatory process in a female organism, for example, a mere cold. In such cases it is absolutely vital to go to a medical institution in order to, first of all, not damage your own health.

Large amounts of blood discharge on the second week of pregnancy may be a sign of endometrial hyperplasia. Another reason maybe ovary malfunctioning. Inflammatory processes, apart from discharges, may be followed by high temperature, stomach ache, and pus. To avoid pernicious consequences, when you discover the aforesaid symptoms, you need to go to a clinic to get qualified medical help.

Soreness and Other Symptoms

During the formation of pregnancy at early stages the first two weeks – there may be soreness and discomfort, cramps and cramping in the abdomen. Sometimes pain may be really sensitive and unpleasant, in this case it would not be bad to get a consultation in a hospital. Also, doctors usually calm you down saying it is normal and the soreness will pass after two weeks are over. They are pretty much right, in such case an extraneous process happens in the organism – the emergence of a new life, especially if it is the first time.

On a second week a woman may not even think of herself being pregnant, only an insignificant heavy feeling in the abdomen may be hinting on it. Most commonly, during the first weeks the woman has no clue she is pregnant. The most obvious manifestation of the symptoms appears on the weeks 5-6, when an embryo actively develops, and his further growth begins.

Generally, the majority of pregnant women cannot even think they are pregnant, especially at such an early stage. All the more so, if the woman has not planned her pregnancy. Unlike the latter, women who plan their pregnancy control their ovulation cycle and the symptoms of the probable pregnancy. One of such symptoms may be a significantly grown libido, or its complete absence.

Miscarriage at 2 Weeks Pregnancy

If fertilization does not happen, a woman can await a miscarriage at the 2nd week of pregnancy. Again, it is not necessary to talk about miscarriage as a full-fledged one, rather we are talking about an unsuccessful attempt to get pregnant. There can be a lot of reasons for this, and eliminate any interference to the successful fertilization next time will help the doctor after appropriate consultation and full examination.

Symptoms and Signs of Miscarriage at the 2nd Week of Pregnancy

To understand whether a miscarriage occurred in the early stage of pregnancy, it is necessary to carefully listen to your body. Many women have miscarriages accompanied by heavy menstrual bleeding with clots of blood. Sometimes in them you can see fragments of pearl-grey egg.

Blood after a miscarriage in the beginning usually has a brownish tint. With increased bleeding spotting become of bright scarlet color. Bleeding during miscarriage can be both moderate and very intense. Blood after a miscarriage can be discharged for one to two weeks. With prolonged bleeding, it is necessary to see a doctor to save the pregnancy.

The blood analysis  can help to find out whether there has been a miscarriage. The level of HCG in plasma remains high even within ten days after the miscarriage. The level of HCG can be determined at home by using the generic test. Even subtle second streak may indicate that there was a pregnancy.

Measurement of the basal temperature will also help determine whether there has been a  miscarriage. A decrease of basal temperature up to the standards is considered to be a frequent sign of miscarriage at the 2nd week of pregnancy.

Interruption of pregnancy can be accompanied by pain syndrome. The pain may appear or disappear. With the miscarriage the pain often covers the abdomen and back. However, by only painful feelings you cannot  accurately determine whether there has been a miscarriage. Indeed, in some cases, the rejection of the fetus is completely painless.

2 Weeks Pregnant: What You Really Need to Know

Attitude to Sex During the Second Week

Continue having sex, regular coituses will not affect the process of formation of a fetus. The only thing that must be considered is that you should not use anything external: contraceptives, artificial lubricants, sex toys and so on. Such excess elements may have a fatal effect on the fetus development.

Also you should not forget physical exercising, because sex is a good exercise. And hard physical workouts are forbidden for a woman on the second week of her pregnancy. It should also be remembered that having regular sex improves not only the future mom’s mood, but her loved one, too, which is very important.

Pregnant woman’s progesterone secretion causes her temperature to rise up to 37 degrees, or possibly even more. Such an increase indicates a good course of fertilization of an ovum and of emergence of a fetus. It is recommended to measure temperature in the morning, after waking up, by anal thermometer immersion. Such method helps define the increase more precisely.

One of the negative and unpleasant things during the formation of a fetus is a cold. But it is not a reason for restraining from the process, because a fertilized ovum still lives rather separately. Taking drugs will not affect its further formation, but, anyway, it is recommended to minimize medicine intake. In such case it is better to try to manage with, so to say, methods of ethnoscience, staying within the reasonable. For example, drinking healthy herbal tea abundantly would be helpful.

Alcohol Issue

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy is undesirable. On the second week alcohol may have no effect on the process of formation of a fetus from an ovum. But it can as well negatively affect the ovum and make it swerve from the proper course of formation. With the nowadays abundance of alcoholic drinks, people believe drinking low alcohol drinks cannot affect a pregnant woman.

However, if during the formation the negative consequences will not be noticeable, it may later have a bad effect on the already formed child. You need to, first and foremost, stay safe yourself and keep your child the same way. You should not drink alcohol in order to do no harm.

Recommendations for Women

Spermatozoa in the sperm very negatively respond to changes in the pH of the environment. That is why taking excessive baths with intimate cleansers may affect the spermatozoa badly. A man should refrain from sex for a few days prior to the coitus to accumulate more energy in his semen.

It is a known fact that during the man’s ejaculation there are around 300 spermatozoa, but only one will fertilize the ovum. After the coitus is finished, the woman should lie on her back for a little. She should raise her legs leaning them against the wall, or just put a pillow under her pelvis to increase the chances of sperm getting into the uterus. After the conception physical exercises are not recommended in order to not disrupt the pregnancy.

And this time I felt symptoms just days after I had sex. And I also am starting to have a very round tummy too…but in all the articles I’ve been reading so far, it is bloating..and bloating is a very early pregnancy symptom I’ve kept reading. So I’m guessing we are experiencing that , but it should go down until we actually start showing. Good luck!
