After ovulation
thought it was a good explanation why we get 'pregnancy' symptoms after ov.
'After you ovulate, the ovarian follicle from which your egg came becomes a cyst called a corpus luteum. Its job is to manufacture hormones that keep a fertilized egg alive and healthy, and to cause your uterus to build up a thick, easily-penetrable lining for a blastocyst to burrow into.
IF you are fertile, you almost always have a corpus luteum form after ovulation.
The corpus luteum puts out these hormones whether or not an egg has been fertilized (it doesn't know; it doesn't care; it just does its job)
These hormones are what causes PMS.
The PHYSICAL symptoms of PMS mimic the symptoms of early pregnancy almost EXACTLY -- because they are the same hormones, with the exception of the HCG that is ONLY put out if you are pregnant.
It is a sign of fertility -- it's a GOOD sign! But it's not proof of pregnancy -- only a positive urine or blood pregnancy test is. The headaches, the stuffiness, the achy abdomen, the temperature swings...all gifts of a functioning corpus luteum, which ONLY forms if an ovary has produced an egg.
So here's what you know: you HAVE produced an egg. Your hormones are functioning properly. And these things tell you that it COULD indeed be the month. They tell you that you have a 25% chance'.
I know some women instinctively 'know' that they are pregnant really early on, but the majority of early symptoms are really just the corpus luteum and progesterone. Until the egg has implanted, the body doesn't know it's pregnant. Xx
