Fetal Weight Standard
At week 2 of gestation, your estrogen levels surge, stimulating a surge of Luteinizing Hormone (LH). This hormonal spike triggers ovulation—releasing a mature egg from your ovary into the Fallopian tube.
If intercourse or intrauterine insemination occurs within the fertile window (from 3 to 5 days before ovulation up to 24 hours after), a single sperm cell fertilizes the ovum. The combination of 23 maternal chromosomes and 23 paternal chromosomes creates a single-cell zygote with complete genetic blueprints.

Frequently Asked Questions About 2 Weeks Pregnant
Fertilization occurs within 12 to 24 hours after the egg is released from the ovary. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 3 to 5 days, meaning sexual intercourse prior to ovulation can successfully lead to fertilization.
