In this deeply supportive video, Dr. Sterling walks you through what happens after ovulation—from fertilization to implantation—and how to care for yourself emotionally during the two-week wait (TWW), one of the most challenging stretches of the trying-to-conceive journey.

You’ll learn:

• The timeline of early conception: fertilization, cell division, implantation, and rising HCG

• When a pregnancy test can actually detect a pregnancy—and why it’s not always reliable early on

• What early pregnancy symptoms might show up—and how confusing they can be

• Why it’s common to feel hopeful and overwhelmed during this time

• How to navigate symptom-checking and the emotional rollercoaster with compassion—not self-blame

You’ll also get gentle, practical tools for riding out the TWW with more peace:

• Creating simple morning or nightly rituals

• Asking yourself powerful reflective questions like “What do I need?” or “What feels good?”

• Practicing mindfulness and body awareness

• Engaging with supportive community, joyful distractions, and nurturing self-care
