Early Pregnancy Signs in the Two Week Wait: Advice and Mistakes to Avoid - Dr Lora Shahine

The wait to find out if you're pregnant can be agonizing! Whether you're trying naturally or through fertility treatments, that window of time can feel endless. This video is here to help you understand what's happening in your body and what those early pregnancy signs could mean.
In this video, I'll cover:
• A quick review of your menstrual cycle so you know exactly when implantation might occur.
• The role of progesterone and how it can mimic early pregnancy symptoms.
• Potential implantation signs and how to tell them apart from your usual pre-period symptoms.
• Common mistakes to avoid so you don't get your hopes up (or down) prematurely.
Remember, every pregnancy is different, and not everyone experiences the same symptoms. If you're unsure, the best way to know is to take a pregnancy test and visit your doctor.

[@photosynthesislife]

Last pregnancy I had an early symptom of unusual emotional sensitivity beyond PMS, food cravings and wicked heartburn. The bummer is now every time I have heartburn I'm the two week wait part of me begins to get my hopes up. 5 cycles into round 2 (naturally) and the hope, uncertainty, disappointment cycle is just difficult.

[@alicepautesta4540]

Thank you so much. I’ve finally found someone who gives different advice and really feels like understands what I’m going through. I’m on 7 DPO, TTC month 5 and I really hope it’s going to work!

[@honorinaestar2528]

Implantation bleeding and cramping…it’s way too early for my period.

[@leigh4326]

Please advise me I can’t even sleep on my left or right side 😮

[@JessicaT10118]

Same girl. Day 5 for me+nausea. Sleeping on my back which I never do. Hope you are feeling better!

[@sweettagada22]

Thanks for the science :) I have a question, since the fertilized egg produces HCG even before implantation, isn’t it possible to have symptoms before implantation ?

[@Jess-wk5jo]

I have question Which gender is more likely people get with IUI artificial insemination and people have boy with artificial insemination ?

[@jeannie1592]

It's actually about 50/50. Stats say about 105 boys are born to every 100 girls

[@leighg7039]

There is no gender that is more likely with IUI! It’s totally dependent on the man’s sperm and can vary every time he ejaculates. It’s a total crapshoot! The only way to know for sure is to do IVF and do PGT-A testing (if you are in America, other countries don’t allow you to know the embryos gender).

[@byangregir8235]

[@butusharobel4446]

I miss my period 2 weeks but still the pregnant taste negative but ovulation test positive I’m just confused😳

[@catinabox3048]

Did you test for sure 4 weeks ago to make sure you were ovulating then? If not, then you did not miss your period and you're ovulating now.
