I haven't felt like writing on here in awhile, and I figured out why. I was in total denial the FET was really happening. I was thinking it would get canceled because my lining wasn't where it should have been during the entire cycle. But turns out doctor just pushed it back.
On Friday, I had my one little fighter transferred! He is a blastocyst, day 6 though they still say it's a day 5. No idea why. He was already starting to hatch when they took his picture early Friday morning. By the time we saw him in real life Friday at 11:30 he had hatched even more. That is a really good sign there is still growth and movement happening! (We didn't get that last time-they had stopped growing we think now)
This weekend I took it really easy, napped a lot, didn't lift anything over 5 pounds, and just relaxed.
This is the timeline of what to expect now:
Since our embryos were frozen on day 5 after the retrieval, here is what our embryos have been up to and will be up to for the next several days (“dpt” stands for “days past transfer”):
- Saturday-1dpt….Blastocyst hatches out of shell
- Sun-2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
- Mon-3dpt.. Implantation begins as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
- Tues-4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
- Thurs- 5dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
- Fri March 7-6dpt…Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
- Sat-7dpt…More HCG is produced as fetus develops
- Sun- 8dpt…More HCG is produced as fetus develops
- Mon, March 10- 9dpt…HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT!!!
I am trying super hard not to analyze every twitch and "symptom" but it is so hard. Since Friday I have had period-like cramps, nausea, serious fatigue, and that's about it. All of those are signs of progesterone. So it really means nothing.......but hey you never know right......
