Written By Lora Shahine, MD

The two-week wait can be an agonizing time for hopeful parents. In this Baby or Bust episode, reproductive endocrinologists Dr. Lora Shahine and Dr. Temeka Zore discuss the science of early pregnancy, including the two-week wait, a positive pregnancy test, and first-trimester bleeding.

Whether you are trying for a baby with or without reproductive assistance, the two-week wait and early pregnancy can be overwhelming. Dr. Temeka Zore has valuable insights from helping patients during this time, and in this episode, she teaches the signs of implantation bleeding, early symptoms of pregnancy, progesterone's impact on menstruation, and why you can get false positives on home tests.
