Days Past Transfer (DPT) | Embryo Development |
One | The embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula |
Two | The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst |
Three | The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell |
Four | The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus |
Five | The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation |
Six | Implantation continues |
Seven | Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop |
Eight | Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream |
Nine | Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted |
Ten | Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted |
Eleven | Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy |
Trigger update: The trigger is finally barely registering in my system 9 days post trigger (bottom stick). I am hoping tomorrow it will be GONE gone.
Symptoms: Nothing today. Maybe a small pinch in my uterus last night?
Hi! I just wanted to say that your blog inspired me to write my own blog-my son is now 6 months old. I was so excited to see that you were continuing your story and I check your blog every day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ria!!!!!!! I am trying to be strong but infertility is the hardest rollercoaster to ever be on!!
DeleteI can't even imagine how hard this is for you and Mike-I know it took some time but IVF was successful and now you have a sweet little boy. Even if this isn't the cycle, pretty soon you will be pregnant again-I'm rooting for you girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ria!!!!!!! Hugs. :)
