So. Rest up they say. Don't try and do too much. Easier said than done! this time I haven't been so obsessed with not moving like I was last time haha. My body is telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing. I've had a lot of cramping and back pain which I'm putting down to my ovaries recovering. Trying to drink a lot of water and move around as much as I can as that helps. The nausea has calmed down a bit which is nice as I'm trying to eat as much good food as possible to keep my energy levels where they need to be.
I've decided to wait for my letter from the clinic about Hope and Chance. I really want DH to be there when I find out their fate. The letter should be sent on Thursday/Day 6 (freezing day) so I should have it by Friday or Saturday hopefully.
I've managed a bit of washing, loading and unloading the dishwasher, lighting the fire. The housework is piling up around me now and i'm trying to ignore it, at least for the first few days. My DH cleaned up his office on the weekend so I'm hiding out there with the cats for a few hours a day. Thank goodness for the internet. Trying not to symptom google though but did find this very helpful chart. I'm currently at 2dpt (days past transfer).
Days past 3 day transfer | Embryo Development |
---|---|
1 | The embryo continues to grow from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula (16-64 cells) |
2 | The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst (70-100 cells) |
3 | The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell |
4 | The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus |
5 | The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation |
6 | Implantation continues |
7 | Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetal cells begin to develop |
8 | Placenta cells secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) into the blood stream |
9 | Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted |
10 | Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted |
11 | Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy on HPT. GO TEST!! (if you haven't already...) |
Anyhoo....that's all to report for now. Only 2 days in!! 9 to go. Trying to stay positive.
