serene - the journey of the embryo after ET is as follows..
3 day transfer-
1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt and above...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
try to visualize the journey of our precious embies.. i personally believe that if we help the embies by visualization, the chances of success is greatly improved, as we will create a willing and positive environment for them..
stay positive, i wish you all the best!! lotsa of baby dust on you...
bliss - let's encourage each other.. all the best for you and me..
itjabi - how are you? hope that you are feeling better..
joline - i had 2 previous ectopics.. i did not take any oral medications.. but i took the methotrexate jabs.. these jabs are very specific chemotherapy drug that target fetal cells.. so, it is supposedly not hamful to the rest of the cells in the body.. dun worry abt it.. after this treatment, as soon as your doc allows, try again.. look at me.. after 2 ectopics, i am now preggy with twins at 37 weeks..
here's a quick read on this jab..
