Although you are not fertilised yet, your body has been still preparing for it. Each time you ovulate, uterine lining thickens and prepares for reception of ovum. If you are not fertilised, mucous membrane exfoliates causing your period to occur. At the end of the second week, fertilisation is possible. Your egg merges with the sperm and you are getting pregnant. At this very moment the sex of your baby is determined. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome, your baby will be a boy; if it is an X chromosome, you will be welcoming a girl
Your period has come to an end and you are eager to have a baby. So you probably start to notice pregnant women and small babyren wherever you go - in shops, on the bus, in the park. The temperature of your body is a bit above normal as it may reach 37 degree. In your ovary, the egg has just started to ripe and soon it will be swept into the fallopian tube. Soon, you will be ovulating and your ovum will be looking forward to its only partner - a strong and handsome sperm which is supposed to fight millions of other sperms to get inside the ovum. It may be the best time to search for your gynaecologist. You have to consider if it is going to be your current doctor or any other specialist. Would you like your gynaecologist to be a woman or a man?
Are you ready to become a dad? Perhaps your thoughts are dominated by doubts and you still do not feel good with this prospect. On the other hand, how can you be prepared for it as you have never experienced it before? You probably cannot be ready but in the course of planning your baby you should be prepared for changes. Surely, getting to know that your partner is pregnant will be always surprising. Even yourself you cannot imagine your response to the news. You will be pondering over managing your fatherhood and hearing the very first cry of your baby. Calm down, you will learn all the things in a right time.
