Basically, six weeks is like a total ban.
For all intents and purposes, yes. Or at least that’s the idea.
Effectively, so are later bans.
Yep, like unless someone is testing every few weeks, they'd have almost no chance of knowing.
The largest percentage is done between 0 & 6 weeks. Plus, there's nothing stopping people from getting milfeprestone by mail.
@@Parrotgirl-Tattoo [points at CZcams short explaining why you are wrong]
My mom didn’t know she was pregnant with me for 4 MONTHS
That checks out, probably brain damage from all the smoking and drinking then yeah?
I have PCOS and my "highscore" between periods is 10 whole months. 4 weeks is nothing to me.
Then perhaps you should be responsible.
What a horror scenario to live through. I live in Germany so this doesn't directly impact me but I am distraught on your behalf. I guess now it's time to start doing a pregnancy test every two weeks. I have no idea what else you could possibly do now (outside of contraceptives)
@@saladslug7432 Don't worry for me, I'm in the UK. I however do worry for many women in the US, especially those with PCOS or similar conditions.
i also have pcos, and without my birth control i go from 'oh my god, youre bleeding so much. are you dying?' to 'oh, i havent had my period in a year or 2' there is no inbetween
@alisonmicahtillery3814 I got an IUD a couple years back. Best decision ever, and I'm not even sexually active. Oh, I also have PCOS but live in Sweden
My period has always been irregular. 5 weeks was not unusual. I've gone up to 75 days.
I am a one issue voter.
Are you in Florida?
Same here with regard to irregular periods. Doctors have tended to be shockingly ignorant about it. I always got pregnant six weeks or more after my last period, as indicated by basal body temperature and later confirmed by ultrasound and/or my infants' features at birth.
Have you ever watched I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant? It's crazy. Many of the women had polycystic ovary syndrome, and their doctors told them they weren't fertile, so they didn't bother with birth control. S*** happens. No human is perfect, and doctors definitely aren't.
Ive been months without periods so i have the implant and take pregnancy tests when i can/feel i need to because i have some health issues that involve a lot of pregnancy symptoms but im also so broke that i cant eat every day so spending money on pregnancy tests just isnt possible all the time. Yet if i lived in florida i would be forced to raise a baby despite not being able to give myself the nutrients to have a healthy baby simply because i cant afford weekly pregnancy tests. My heart breaks for the women of america, theres so much poverty and so much reproductive abuse and you all deserve better. Please keep using your vote and your voice ❤
I take a pregnancy test every week regardless, it`s the only way to catch it for sure.
Literal child marriage in Ameríca needs to be banned nationwide. It’s still legal in most states due to loopholes due to the Republícans. Raise the min AoM to 18. Restore Roe vs Wade.

Good luck stopping the gops favorite thing :(
They don't care it's so sickening
The Democratic party cares nothing about you or any other citizen. Over the last four years homelessness has skyrocketed. I live in a very poverty-stricken area. The people in my area, will talk for hours about how they are having to work three jobs due to how expensive stuff is under Joe Biden. You wouldn't believe the amount of Seventy-Five-year-olds that had to come back to work because Social Security Benefits does not go as far in today's society. Also, what has Joe Biden done for you these last 4 years. Everything was way cheaper under Donald Trump even during the height of covid. The news says that the price of things has decreased by 25 percent since Joe Biden. However, that is the greatest lie ever heard. groceries are double in price than what they used to be in 2020.
BS it's bc of republicans ? You guys blame everything on conservatives It fills your addiction to hate?
@@Umbrage0 New Hampshire is hopefully going to be he 13th state to ban it. Despite one of the GOP member fighting to keep it by calling children "ripe" and "fertile." How can voters look at that language and think "Yep, they want to protect children."
Not to mention that most pregnancy tests dont test positive until youre two weeks post implantation so its more like a two week ban
I had very irregular menstrual cycles and NEVER ovulated within two weeks after my previous period, as the medical formula assumes. I always got pregnant more than six weeks AFTER a last period, so this kind of ban would have been a total ban for me.
How many of your babies did you ☠️
@@jameybobamey7343 don't you have job or something useful to contribute?
Those of us with strange cycles would likely be in a total ban situation. Crazy.
@@jameybobamey7343 why does that matter to you? The exact same kinds of men* who have an issue with termination, are usually the kinds of men* who would be domestic assailants or even go on to unalive their pregnant mistress or partner "cause it's bad timing" or "she was too emotional".
@@audreydoyle5268 lol I love how you use the word "usually" and would also love to see a single shred of evidence to support that claim😂 don't worry I won't hold my breath.
How many of your pregnancies have you paid someone to end?
So basically if you ever have a period that is a week late you would never think to take a test in time
not everyone keeps track of their period and many have irregular periods
Most people have irregular periods, including I. You can’t really track them, some are so irregular that they get it every 2 months or so. So no, a week late is really not noticeable if at all.
NEVER reward a Republican with your vote.

Down with the American theocrats. Zero stars.
That's also only if you have a 28 day cycle. Cycles can last anywhere from 21 days to 35 days if they are typical. Some people have only a period or 2 a year. Imagine your LMC was 6 months prior. You are barred before conception even happened. Counting from Last Menstrual Cycle is the most inaccurate way to measure a cycle for those without "regular" menstrual cycles. Since fertilization can happen days after making love you can't use that unless you were charting meticulously or you were undergoing ART procedures where fertilization was carefully timed.
you can barely get that second blue line at 6 weeks
If your 6 weeks pregnant your 2 weeks past your missed period.
Exactly. No one who isn't TRYING to get pregnant would know they are pregnant TWO WEEKS after their first missed period. That's a completely normal amount of variance.
Have you ever heard about long or irregular cycles, lol
@9hybris as someone with PCOS yes I have, but im talking about standard cycle.

Glad this comment section isn't full of pro-lifers. I don't think I could handle that right now.
look, I don't want to argue with anyone either, but are we really so afraid of healthy conversation?
@@maryaislost107 There is not healthy conversation with people who want to restrict or take away people's rights.
We can have a healthy discussion about why Snape was a monster, whether pineapple belongs on pizza, or how there's no such thing as a vegetable, but not about human rights.
And so many things can affect your period! I consider myself pretty healthy, and it still fluctuates by 1-2 Weeks (sometimes i have a period in 4 week, sometimes in 6, i've even had a gap of ~9 weeks before!) and if it fluctuates, that makes it even harder, because you'll just think "oh, blessed, another day without bleeding my guts out and crumbling in pain😊" when you could be pregnant.
Exactly. Usually for the first 4 weeks after implantation, you feel fine, if not maybe a little run down, but usually in greater spirits cause you haven't had a visit from aunt flo yet. Nausea, mood swings, that doesn't start until around 6 weeks after implantation. And some women don't get morning sickness or swings or changes in discharge.
Unless you're willing to fork out hundreds a year on pee sticks, most women have no chance of stopping it
@@audreydoyle5268I wish someone told my body that you don't get morning sickness until 6 weeks after implantation, would've been nice not needing medication for it starting the week my period would've been lol
Welcome to the dark ages sisters!
I’m getting over of how they’re trying to control women and their pregnancies. Florida is also one of the top states in the nation where teen pregnancies are at an all time high. Wonder why…
BIRTH DEFECTS-11-13 weeks!
Some severe embryonic/fetal abnormalities can be seen as early as 7-8weeks of gestation
Eugenics.
Republicans will still let you die.
@@Parrotgirl-Tattoonothing better than having a child that will suffer and die before birth and rot inside a woman.
@Parrotgirl-Tattoo it's not lol. A lot of birth defects essentially kill the baby in the womb and women are forced to carry brain dead fetuses to term.
A lot of other birth defects cause babies to die within a few days to weeks of leaving the womb, with severe complications that obviously kill the kid. It's better to never be born than to only exist for 2 days in an ICU in constant pain, screaming to death.
Also eugenics is done with the goal of improving the human race. This person isn't suggesting that. Individuals making personal choices to screen a fetus for often life threatening or altering conditions isn't condemning that whole group of people or an attempt to remove them from society. It's an individual deciding what they can and can't handle for 18+ years
@@Parrotgirl-Tattoo gurl, if you're going to use that as an argument, actually read up on what eugenics is.
Termination of pregnancy is a CHOICE in a sane world. Eugenics is FORCED sterilisation.
It's more so eugenics to force a women OR CHILD to stay pregnant when the pregnancy could end their lives or leave them infertile. There was a recent case from Texas which gained virality in the media of a woman with a such a dangerous pregnancy, keeping it would have led to her requiring an emergency hysterectomy. THAT is eugenics. Because she was almost forced to give up her fertility for a non-viable pregnancy! If she stayed in Texas.
Let women live to have a child another year, when she's able.
Let children grow up before having to raise a child themselves.
Most people do know fertilized means there's a baby smarty
And what if you get pregnant 4 weeks after your period and the egg implants right before it? From my understanding you have no time
This is for a normal woman ... what about a woman whose menstrual cycle is like 40 - 50 days??
Time travelling baby then
It's an egg, fertilised and then BAM two months along
We really need to stop going by last cycle, it's absurd. Very few people are consistent to the norm even in ONE month, nevermind EVERY month.

Yes, it is essentially a total ban! Protect life 💕
Yes ..but it's ok. Because they are going to ban contraception too. So it's almost like it doesn't matter. 😊
Who is? I've not heard that one!!! Lmao
@Parrotgirl-Tattoo Did you already forget that they blocked the right to contraception bill? The Bill specifically designed so that states wouldn’t be able to interfere with contraception access?
@@Parrotgirl-Tattoo Watch something else besides fox. Republicans are. It's a good thing that you want 10 or more kids ?
@@Parrotgirl-Tattoo14 states are currently working on legislation to remove all contraception. No exceptions. Heritage Foundation and Christian facism are actively working to put people in offices from school boards to the presidency to turn every womb bearer into a slave and marry 12 year Olds. It doesn't matter what you've heard, this is reality.
I didn’t any noticeable symptoms when I tested positive just felt like testing for some reason. Took me about a month after to feel symptoms (around the time I was eight weeks along) but even then it wasn’t super noticeable. At around twelve weeks was when symptoms really started to kick in. That being said if I didn’t happen to just have a test and feel like testing, probably would’ve found out nearing second trimester.
"Today. My period started in the waiting room."
Let's see them figure out that math.
I didn't know about either of my girls until 10 weeks. It's basically a total ban, especially for irregular cycles.
I went almost 3 years with no period and I wasnt on birth control because I couldn't go in to get my shot. So I decided I would give the shot to myself. But I never did because I spent lock down and the 2 years after it with no period. I had COVID at the beginning and just assumed it was another weird post COVID thing my body was doing.
Not to mention some women actually don't experience pregnancy symptoms at all, including the baby bump
4 weeks for the Average person, could be less.
The first two weeks are leading up to ovulation (egg release from the ovary). Then, you have the additional time it takes for a fertilized egg to reach the uterus, successfully implant, and the body to start showing symptoms.
Exactly, even this video overestimates how much time it gives people. It takes 8-9 days after fertilization to even implant. A urine pregnancy test won’t be positive until 5-6 days later. So you can’t know you’re pregnant until 4 weeks after your missed period.
Found out at 22 weeks after being told I couldnt have kids so was amazing but it's wrong how they are doing this to use all. I fell for use.
(Edinburgh Scotland)
If an embryo is a human it should be protected that early though. This is the logical thing to do for pro-life
Embryo is not a human. It is a potential human.
Yeah didn't know until week 5 when period was late. I highly doubt you could get an appointment in a week to take care of it. So in other words you're screwed if you didn't want a kid.
I could see my babies heart beat at 6 weeks and 4 days. At 8 weeks my baby has a heart beat and is moving. This is a life and we should protect it.
I fully support your right to keep your pregnancies if that is what you want. No one is taking that right from you, yet you feel entitled to take the choice away from others.
I knew the moment I heard about the 6 week limit that it's just bs. Very rarily you can find out that you're pregnant before 6 weeks. My pregnancy was already 3 weeks when I've got to see a doctor, so it would have been around 5 weeks since my last cycle. But I was trying to have a baby and been expecting it. I had a regular cycle and took frequent tests as soon as I thought it was late.
If this makes you angry, take it out on MO
It is basically a total ban, as it should be.
Do you not track your period? I've had 5 kids and always found out before 6-weeks. We should be teaching people to be responsible, not crying about laws banning killing the unborn. 😂 what a joke being an "adult" has become
This timeframe blows my mind! We had stopped preventing, so in essence trying, tested about 5 days after my missed period and i was still 8 weeks pregnant in no time! I wasnt showing symptoms when i tested either, the only reason i tested was because the missed period/no BC combo. (And I really wanted to be pregnant!)
Sounds like the Women that reside in Florida NEED TO GO EN MASSE to the State Legislature building to Express the concerns you have.
If you're actually SERIOUS about it.
A lot of people don't care about this.
i pretty frequently go 4-8 months without menstruating lmao
Basically you should buy pregnancy tests in bulk and take one every week as a precaution is what I’m hearing
🎉save the babies
Get ovulation test strips. Use one around your expected (missed or not) period. It'll test positive if you're pregnant because the strip mistakes hCg for LH hormones.
It's how I detected my pregnancy at 4 weeks! Good luck ladies
Well... there Still is one significant symptom: you have no period for 6 weeks... if you are late on period, you will prefer to have a little urine pregnancy test to do.
Some people dont know their pregmant until they are in labor, its crazy.
Who doesn’t know this?
Good!
Sorry to butt in but it does not take TWO WEEKS for a fertilized egg to implant. It takes a couple days. Most women do not OVULATE (release an egg) until about 2 weeks into their cycle, although it can happen much sooner (as is evidenced by my second child).
Wait, isn't it up to 26 days between last menstruation and implantation with regular-ish cycles? ~2 weeks until ovulation, then 6-12 days from then to implantation (most commonly 22-23 days total, 3 weeks). And on top of that the extra for those who ovulate at day 21-26
So contraception instructions are too complicated or you just can't be bothered to use them?
if i haven’t gotten my period in a year and get pregnant am i a year pregnant?
People can just lie about their last menstrual cycle?
No, you can't. Doctors can tell how old an embryo is based on development stage and size. Unless you've literally managed to get the procedure done within a few days before cut off and are a small person, they won't believe you
Not true. They start counting pregnancy at the date of your last period . Your missed period will happen at two weeks pregnant, at that point you are pregnant enough to show up on a test. At that point, every woman should take a pregnancy test.
Unless you have irregular periods.
I would have been over 20 weeks pregnant with my first kid when i found out. I was actually about 6-8 actual weeks when i found out. Because i used to skip my period all the time. There were times i missed 5-6 periods when i was younger. It was the reason i didn't know i was pregnant until i was further along each time. Because the skips were just something i had to get used to. I had missed about 4 months of periodds before getting pregnant with my eldest. I figured out i was pregnant due to sickness after about 6 weeks of being pregnant. So at that point i had my previous period about 6 months prior. I had literally forgot exactly when it had been. I didn't know exactly how far along i was for another about 2 months when they did the sonogram and told me at that point i was just over 4 months along. So yeah for women who deal with medical issues where they miss its even more stupid.
Love it
I got an ultrasound and saw my 6 week old a couple days ago. They have a heartbeat and I can't wait to meet them ❤. Life is precious, giving the child up for adoption is an option and there are plenty of places that will help pregnant women out. You're not alone 😊
So how long is pregnancy actually??
Great!!!!
You know how to get pregnant. There's no mystery about it. Stop being like the automatic door at walmart. Settle down with one man, marry him and make a life. It's not an issue.
Robert, which nurse let you have access to the Internet in your nursing home? She should be fired.
Not all married families even want children in this economy, most married couples nowadays are double income households with no kids. They deserve to have intimacy without needing to worry about a (at a minimum) $40.000 for pure just birth and $13000 every year after that. Excluding what the children wants as toys or whatever society’s peer pressure them to need and college funds on the sides.
Life is precious
I am so happy with the direction this country is going. We must protect those who can’t protect themselves. Our children are so precious. And now that is being reflected in our laws.
Ah yes, let's protect the children who were assaulted by their male family member by giving them the gift of maternal slavery at 12 years old
You can't tell me you don't know you're pregnant, what do you do with the stork's bugging for for an ETA?
Women have full and complete awareness of everything that goes on in their body, they spend their life practicing being pregnant
It doesnt even have a soul until 40 day post conception, so 8 weeks would be the minimum if these people really cared about whatever they claimed. And #1 cause of 💀 of pregnant women is men offing them, so lets address that 1 first.
That has GOT to be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Wonderful
conception is from fertilisation, not implantation
Listen for the end of the sentence.
There is no gestation without both conception and implantation. This applies to a successfully implanted zygote. Cause fertilised eggs can miss the wall
Fact: The fetus brain is incapable of feeling pain until the 24th to 25th week of pregnancy.
Fact: NO human brain can ever feel pain at any age.
Fact: When a baby can live outside the womb, it's not a "fetus". A baby can live outside the womb at 22 weeks.

@simonclarke1134 some women get symptoms and some get none ever at all. Some women continue to get their period while pregnant. Every single person is different and this is why no one should be controlling a woman's body. Or a child's body. Because girls menstruation can begin as early as 8. And many victims of child assault are by family. So the state of Florida is telling LITTLE GIRLS that they are cattle. And women that they are as well.
@@simonclarke1134 I'm glad you took the time to inquire. Thank you.
That's actually not accurate. They use that to understand most likely when implantation was and then they go from implantation.
Why is it okay for a woman to kill a man's baby when he begs her not to and he's powerless, but if she keeps it and he doesn't want it he has to pay her child support
Actually, I believe it was Finland or Sweden that ruled the man could cut ties if he didn't want the kid, so...
Well that's simple there genius. Your 8 seconds of fun can be capped off with a condom or a vasectomy. YOU aren't carrying the pregnancy.

Of course a man would say that. It’s a parasite in your body.
This is misinformation.
The two weeks is the time from the last cycle to start of ovulation. The egg is viable for around 5 days after that and a couple of days are needed for implantation if it is indeed fertilized.
It doesn't matter, it is NO ONE'S BUSINESS and forced pregnancy is enslavement to the pregnancy via political proxy. 13th amendment forbids enslavement in all states and territories.
What part is misinformation? My special interest has been obstetrics and pregnancy since I was 7, and I heard not a single thing explained wrong about the first 6 weeks.
Those two weeks is the follicular phase, WHICH WAS WHAT SHE MEANT by two weeks before implantation.

Imagine thinking it's ok to force someone to use their body and organs to be an unwilling sentient life support machine at their risk and without their consent. Maybe it's time to force the fathers to donate organs whenever the pregnant partner needs anything. No matter the risk. Life or death, right?

exept the fact your period is 2 weeks late? like a think you'd notice.
The menstrual cycle can vary and many women always have longer or irregular cycles, so not necessarily.
Ive had 6 months between periods before so no a lot of women wouldn't because irregular periods are pretty common.
Even 4 weeks is immoral, there should be a total ban, killing children is wrong
So guys any women who thinks it's ok to kill there child. Maybe you should stay away from them.
