In our pregnancy week by week direct, you can discover out what to anticipate when you’re 1 week pregnant.

At 2 weeks into your pregnancy journey

Chances are your menstrual cycle has wrapped up by now. One of your ovaries is gearing up to release an egg, while simultaneously pumping out a hefty dose of estrogen. This estrogen surge sets off some crucial processes in your body:

• Your fallopian tubes and cervix start churning out "fertile mucus," providing a supportive environment for any incoming sperm.
• Meanwhile, a fresh lining known as the endometrium begins to take shape in your uterus, eagerly awaiting a fertilized egg to nestle into.
• Towards the end of this week, your ovary is poised to release an egg – a pivotal moment known as ovulation.

Ovulation and the timing of intercourse

Typically occurring around day 14 in a 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation is your prime time for conception. To maximize your chances of getting pregnant, aim to have intercourse 1-3 days prior to ovulation as well as on the day itself..
