5dp3dt

Okay so first off, I sincerely apologize for these posts being so anti-climactic and boring. Still nothing to report. I haven't had a cramp in days so I'm still losing hope by the hour. I have read almost everything there is to read courtesy of google and I have come to realize that my severe negativity is just a coping mechanism. Everyone has different mechanisms but mine is negativity. I prepared for the absolute worst so I can be surprised if something better happens but not blindsided if it doesn't.

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 negative 10 days post trigger (bottom stick)!! Now, if I get a positive pregnancy test from here on out I know it will be all from the baby!!! ****UPDATE....came home from work and there is definitely a line on 10 days past trigger. Will test again tomorrow.

Close up:

Symptoms: I was awake from 11:30pm to 1:30pm just wide awake and super hot. I would bet it is a side effect of the steroid they have me on. Luckily last night's pill was the last one!! So I pray I still soundly tonight. This morning when I stretched in bed I had a TINY feeling of tugging on my uterus but that could have been a left over ovary pain from the retrieval. I am grasping at straws for any symptoms. Today is 5dp3dt...which is equivalent to 8dpo (8 days past ovulation). With Victor's successful cycle on 3dp5dt (which would also be 8dpo) I had my first symptoms today...constant cramps. So please God, let the cramps begin!!!!!!!
