A pregnancy is 40 weeks, but that includes two weeks during your cycle *before* conception. So most women find out they're pregnant around five or six weeks. It goes like this: Weeks 1 to 2: Body gets ready to ovluate. Weeks 2 to 3: Ovulation, fertilization and Implantation. Week 4 or 5: Period is late.
