Overanalysis - Killing time after ET


Sadly, I think I may currently be a boring blogger who has nothing to talk about that is not TTC-related. I intend to post pictures of my re-done living room and dining room later this week and talk about my new favorite mascara (fascinating!).

But in the meantime, I found this handy-dandy breakdown of what a typical embie does day-by-day during the 11 days past a 3-day transfer. Of course, I've been analyzing every pang today as I am 3dp3dt, but according to the list below - which admittedly is from a message board, not a doctor - I probably wouldn't feel pangs until tomorrow. And I know more people than not don't feel implantation, but with my only other BFP, I felt it so I'm on high alert this cycle.

AFTER 3-DAY TRANSFER:
1dpt3dt... Embryo is growing and developing
2dpt3dt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt3dt... Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day ** I'M HERE TODAY **
4dpt3dt... Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt3dt... Implantation begins, as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt3dt... Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt3dt... Morula is completely implanted & has placenta cells /fetal cells
8dpt3dt... Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt3dt... More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt3dt.. More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt3dt.. HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

Amazing how much happens in so short a time. Although I'm sure it feels like an eternity to you right now :).
I always love to see what other people do with their homes! It's not boring to me at all - I have very little decorating skills, so I love seeing what other people can do :).
