No Ovulation in Pregnancy: Myths, Symptoms & Leakproof Protection

Image
No, you don't ovulate when pregnant. After conception, hCG and progesterone surge, pausing egg release to protect the embryo. The ovaries halt, cervical mucus thickens as a sperm barrier, and the uterus nurtures the pregnancy—no room for another. Myth busted: superfetation (second conception) is extremely rare, with few documented cases. Periods stop; uterine lining stays intact. Ovulation-like symptoms? Early pregnancy hormones mimic them: pelvic twinges, breast tenderness, bloating from rising estrogen/progesterone. Spotting (implantation bleeding) may feel like a light period, but it's not—consult a doctor for heavy bleeding/cramps. Ovulation during pregnancy? Science says no—hCG pauses it. Spotting ≠ periods. Leakproof panties/period underwear/period pants handle discharge/postpartum leaks sustainably. Empower your cycle! #PregnancyMyths #PeriodUnderwear #WomensHealth Postpartum, ovulation can return pre-period, especially if not breastfeeding. Track with apps for fertility...
