Will You Notice Early Signs and Symptoms When You’re 1 Week Pregnant or 2 Weeks Pregnant?

Your journey through pregnancy has officially begun, but as mentioned above, you’re not actually pregnant yet. Remember that healthcare providers calculate your pregnancy as 40 weeks, or 280 days, from the start of your last period. So, if you have a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, the first two weeks are mainly just Aunt Flo doing her thing.

But after two weeks, other things start to happen.

• One of your ovaries will release an egg around 14 days after the first day of your last period.

• The egg will travel down one of the fallopian tubes where it may unite with sperm.

It’s worth noting that sperm can live inside your body for up to five days, and your egg has a lifespan of up to one day. This means your window of fertility (when you should have sex if you’re trying to get pregnant) is about five days before you ovulate to one day after. What this all means is that you won’t feel any of those very early signs of pregnancy in weeks 1, 2, or possibly even 3. If you have yet to conceive, then it makes sense that you wouldn’t notice anything!
