According to my findings this is what happens to the embryo in the uteeus after an IVF transfer:
3 day old embryo
Day 1:
The embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula
Day 2:
The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst
Day 3:
The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
Day 4:
The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
Day 5:
The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
Day 6:
Implantation continues
Day 7:
Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop
Day 8:
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
Day 9:
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Day 10:
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Day 11:
Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy
5 day old blastocyst
Day 1:
The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
Day 2:
The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
Day 3:
The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
Day 4:
Implantation continues
Day 5:
Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop
Day 6:
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
Day 7:
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Day 8:
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Day 9:
Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy
SYMPTOMS
I'm more dizzy and I drink a lot more than before.
My stomach still looks like it's a 4 month old baby bump when in fact I am just 8 days past transfer.
EVERYONE KNOWS
Yup, I think it is better for everyone to know.
