TTC - ICSI cycle #1 - CD22

Today I spent an entire day on the couch. I did do two loads of washing and unloaded the diswasher but that was about it. Harder than i thought! I decided because I spent the afternoon out yesterday and got stuck in traffic in my stinking hot car (i have no aircon) that id spend a no bra, no makeup day inside today, i was a bit crampy yesterday but apart from that my severe bloat has actually sorted itself out, i still look 5 months pregnant tho but its not as sore. My right ovary also has started to reduce in size finally. Bit nauseous. Still not overly hungry, seem to have gone off chicken, have constant craving for cheese and constantly thirsty, Definitely think I slept right through last night, that was a first in a number of weeks. Still tired but sitting round does that to you. Im hoping for a walk tomorrow.

So where are we at? 5dp3dt. According to this list below implantation should be starting or underway now.  Still a long wait but have a busy weekend planned so distractions are welcomed!! Im sure next week will come around quick. Wish I had achieved more on my time off... made the mistake of checking work emails, its going to be weird going back end of next week, sounds like lots of changes there while ive been away... would love this to be my last year of work for a while. Ill keep wishing.

This is what happens after a 3 day transfer:

1 day post transfer - Embryo is growing and developing
2  days post transfer - Embryo is now a blastocyst
3 days post transfer - Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4 days post transfer - Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5 days post transfer - Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6 days post transfer - Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7 days post transfer - Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &  fetal cells
8 days post transfer - Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9 days post transfer - More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10 days post transfer - More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11 days post transfer - HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT
