Week 1-2: Conception & Implantation

Welcome to the beginning of your IVF pregnancy journey! During these first weeks, your embryo is implanting and beginning to establish the foundation for your baby's development.

What's Happening This Week

Your embryo is working hard to implant into the uterine lining. This process typically takes 6-12 days after embryo transfer and is crucial for a successful pregnancy.

What You Might Experience

You may not notice any symptoms yet, or you might experience mild cramping or spotting. Both are normal during this early stage.

Important Reminders

Continue taking any prescribed medications and follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Avoid strenuous activities and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
