At 12 weeks pregnant, your uterus is about the size of either an orange or a grapefuit. And it is also at this time that you begin developing new pregnancy hormones.

Can you reach with your fingers the 3 week fetus if you insert your fingers to your vagina?

No, a person would not be able to reach a 3-week fetus by inserting their fingers into their vagina. At 3 weeks, the fetus is very small, typically around the size of a poppy seed, and is located within the uterus, not the vaginal canal. It is not possible to touch or feel a 3-week fetus in this way.


What is the length of an embryo during week one through ten?

During week one, the embryo is still at the stage of implantation and does not have a measurable length. By the end of week ten, the embryo has developed into a fetus and is typically around 1.2 to 1.6 inches (3 to 4 centimeters) long.


What is the earliest implantation bleeding occurs?

Implantation can sometimes cause a bit of spotting or bleeding, known as implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is a small amount of bleeding in the uterus that occurs when the egg implants into the uterus. A specific tissue, known as trophoblast, develops from the fertilized egg and it surrounds it. It is what attaches the egg to the inside of the uterus, and actually eats its way into the uterus. The trophoblast actually pulls the egg to the inside of the endometrium. Trophoblast even invades the mother's blood vessels and diverts her blood to the fertilized egg. Sometimes, this blood will leak and this causes implantation bleeding. Thus, it is possible that it can be as many as 5 to 14 days between the time of sexual intercourse and the time that the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. 14 days is a little long, it usually takes five days just for the egg to travel down the fallopian tube.


Is it possible to have implantation and still get your period a week or two after?

It is possible to have implantation bleeding, which can be mistaken for a period, and still get your period a week or two later. Implantation bleeding is usually lighter and shorter in duration than a regular period, and it occurs when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining. If you are unsure about your symptoms, it is best to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis.
