Couldn't Wait

So this afternoon Stephen and I got the bright idea that we were going to do a pregnancy test even though we are only 6 days post transfer. Yes we are idiots and Yes it is to early but wanting to know got the best of us. So needless to say the results were negative. Even though it is still so early it sucked to see those two horrible words not pregnant. So as I always do I turned to the Internet for comfort reading what other people had to say that did the same stupid thing :) This is what I found and thought it was really interesting so I decided I would post it. The days I am putting next to it are the days that it would be for us. If you are going through this fill your own days in.

This is for a day 5 Transfer, it is different for a day 3

(If we are pregnant this is what would be happening day by day)

The day before the transfer (Sun 3/14)- Embryo is growing and developing

Day of Transfer (Monday 3/15)- Embryo is now a blastocyst

1 Day Post Transfer (Tuesday 3/16) Blastocyst hatches out of shell

2 Days Post Transfer (Wednesday 3/17) Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining

3 Days Post Transfer (Thursday 3/18) Implantation begins, as the blastocyst beings to bury in the lining.

4 Days Post Transfer (Friday 3/19) Implantation Process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining.

5 Days Post Transfer (Saturday 3/20) Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells and fetal cells

6 Days Post Transfer (Sunday 3/21) Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood.

7 Days Post Transfer (Monday 3/22)More HCG is produced as the fetus develops

8 Days Post Transfer (Tuesday 3/23) More HCG is produced as the fetus develops

9 Days Post Transfer (Wednesday 3/24) HCG levels are now high enough to be detected on a Home Pregnancy Test.

So the moral of the story is no more pregnancy tests wasted until Wednesday! Until next time love and baby dust!
