Pinpointing Ovulation

Baby Development at 2 Weeks Pregnant

After ovulation, the egg moves into your fallopian tube, which connects your ovary and uterus, and waits to be fertilized.

Baby's Growth and Development at Week Two: Preconception

There's no baby yet, but your body is preparing for ovulation and, ultimately, conception. Wondering how you can be 2 weeks pregnant before your baby is conceived? There's an easy explanation.

Conception typically occurs when you are two weeks pregnant, or two weeks after your period starts. Even while you're menstruating, your body is getting ready for pregnancy.

  • An egg, maturing within one of your ovaries, releases.
  • This process, called ovulation, usually occurs approximately 11 to 14 days after your period.
  • After ovulation, the egg moves into your fallopian tube, which connects your ovary and uterus, and waits to be fertilized.
  • If you have intercourse during ovulation, you might become pregnant!
  • Sperm can live in your body for up to six days, but your egg, once released during ovulation, must be fertilized within 12 to 24 hours.
  • At this point, your egg is 1/200 of an inch — too small to see with the naked eye.
