You are about two weeks from ovulation and likely have confirmed pregnancy with a home pregnancy test. However, we recommend you also test for pregnancy via a blood test. This is the most accurate way to test since it measures the HCG level (the pregnancy hormone level also known as beta-HCG). Your doctor may also recommend following the elevation of the HCG level to ensure a normal developing pregnancy.
In medical terms, you are considered 4 weeks pregnant, since for those experiencing regular cycles you will be about 4 weeks from your last period. However, if you experience long or irregular cycles then the time since your last period may be much longer. This is the benefit of tracking your ovulation, you know the true date of your pregnancy.
For your baby: Baby’s cells are multiplying rapidly and classifying for different functions. Over the next six weeks, his or her organs will start to develop.
For yourself: You may start to feel different or experience symptoms such as breast tenderness and/or swelling, fatigue, nausea, and even morning sickness, a heightened sense of smell, etc. Everyone’s experience is different so you may not experience all, or any, of these symptoms.
