Video Overview & Insights
Are you in the dreaded two-week wait and wondering what symptoms to look for? How can you tell the difference between early pregnancy signs and normal cycle symptoms? What are the most common mistakes people make when testing for pregnancy too early?
I'm so nervous. Was supposed to have period. But it was very very light. Lasted off n on for five days. No tampon or pad needed. Only when wiping it was pink or brown
In this episode, Dr. Lora Shahine is easing your uncertainty around the two-week wait, explaining the early signs of pregnancy and how they relate to different phases of the menstrual cycle. She explains the role of progesterone, potential implantation symptoms, and what to expect during this time.
Dr. Shahine also shares the biggest misconceptions about detecting pregnancy early and provides expert advice on the best ways to test accurately. Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of their body, practical tips for symptom interpretation, and the reasons it’s so important to consult a medical professional for guidance.

I have 3 kiddos under 5 yrs old. I never had spotting with any of them or any early indicators that I conceived. I started LH testing with my last daughter to avoid pregnancy for a bit and came to realize, my cycle lengths are all over the place …. that’s how I got pregnant with her. Even though I was LH testing, I got a false positive surge, thought I was good to go, then actually ovulated the day after.
I am currently 10 months postpartum from her and got my cycle back at 9months.
With this cycle I started testing CD 12 (as the earliest I have ever ovulated was CD 16). Well… I am CD 22 now and still no LH peak. I started having a tiny bit of blood in my cm on CD 19, that is now pink tinged, on and off, a bit of cramping, irritability, and an uncomfortable bloating/need to go feeling. I also checked, and my cervix is still really high.
I took a pregnancy test this morning and it’s negative. Test again in a few days?

This is wild my tubes are tied. I do check ovulation every month as a precaution to make sure everything is on track. I had sex and ovulated the next day. No big deal right I mean my tubes are tied! Wellllll now I’m getting some weird symptoms that remind me of when I was conceiving my kids. Weird feeling in my uterus for 2days then started having a sharp pain in my right side. My kids were sick and I got nauseous for 2 days and ignored it. I can feel my ovulation so I can tell you my right side ovulated this month. Now yesterday cycle day 23 I started cramping on the right side at night. Woke up fine but now it’s back again not painful just noticeable. My intuition is telling me something is going on…. I have 3days left until my period comes what’s going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😅

Edit: it’s a month later and I did in fact test positive at 11dpo. Get your babies mamas ❤
Edit 2: my positive pregnancy test was born a few days ago. Sleeping soundly on my chest now 😊😊😊
