FIV (9)

Had visited the doctor again 3 days ago, to catch up with the medication. Dosage for the current medicine of oestrogen is reduce back to twice (from tripled), but with additional medicine of progesterone is to tag along. These medication is to continue all the way for 2 weeks. The only "issue" is that the additional medicine need to be kept cool. Hhm, hopefully it won't cause any problem.

Between then, tomorrow is "D-Day". Cross my fingers that it'll be good.
And I tried to read up a bit on what's going to happen next, because the next visit after tomorrow is about 10 days later (which is quite long). And I know why.
It's a good thing that lots of information can be found on web, though, you will need to filter through them. But at least you have an idea or so on what's going on, besides the doctor's advice.

So, below is some info after the FET process.
Note: "dpt" stands for "days past/post transfer"

For 3dt
1dpt - embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula
2dpt - cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst
3dpt - blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
4dpt - blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
5dpt - blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
6dpt - implantation continues
7dpt - implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop
8dpt - human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
9dpt - fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
10dpt - fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
11dpt - levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy

For 5dt
1dpt - blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
2dpt - blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
3dpt - blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
4dpt - implantation continues
5dpt - implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop
6dpt - human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
7dpt - fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
8dpt - fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
9dpt - levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy
