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.

Hi is it a success Just curious
Watching this after we successfully conceived our baby using Make a mom's impregnator ICI kit! Thank you for this useful and educational video!
The BabyReady Kit from MakeAmom was perfect. It was easy to use and made our journey stress-free. Now, we're thrilled to be expecting!
THIS IS SO HELPFULL❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very helpful
Brings back the joy of discovering we were expecting after using the Makeamom impregnator ICI kit. This video was so helpful and reassuring!
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.
Sometimes these symptoms come a month or few weeks until a month I had a bad headache starting off than boobs soreness and than a weird cramp in my stomach . I felt I was pregnant and was right found out I was 6 weeks January 25 my period came on December 11th and had a cycle 33 days
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!
I’m have some low stomach pain and headache sometimes I’m to hot, sometimes cold and my stomach is getting big but when I test is negative I saw my period at end of may and it enter Jun do you think I maybe pregnant because this will be my second
Constipation and sudden candida (which disappeared after one week): the two early inusual symptoms of my two pregnancies.

Am I pregnant?HUHU I had s*x with my boyfriend on April and then I have my period on April and may but this June I didn't get my period yet and I take pregnancy test and it's negative
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 ?
I have question Which gender is more likely people get with IUI artificial insemination and people have boy with artificial insemination ?

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

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

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.
