Nope, you’re still not pregnant at week 2! At this point, your body is preparing to release a mature egg from one of your ovaries, which makes half of your baby’s total genes. If your timing is right, you’ll know you’re pregnant in a few weeks time.
Contrary to popular belief, your baby’s sex is determined the moment the sperm and egg unite! Of course you won’t be able to see it yet, but your baby’s sex has been laid out already.
The egg cell has an X chromosome by default, but the sperm cell actually determines if you’re going to have a boy or girl. If the winning sperm carries an X chromosome, the fertilized egg will now have an XX zygote or a baby girl. If it carries a Y chromosome, you will have an XY zygote or a baby boy.
Apart from the gender, your baby’s physical features are also laid out at conception time, which includes eye color, hair color, skin color, and many more.
