Timeline

Here's what's happening day by day:



11/5 - 1 day post transfer - embryo is growing and developing
11/6/ - 2  days post transfer - Embryo is now a blastocyst
11/7 - 3 days post transfer - Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
11/8 - 4 days post transfer - Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
11/9 - 5 days post transfer - Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
11/10 - 6 days post transfer - Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
11/11 - 7 days post transfer - Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &  fetal cells
11/12 - 8 days post transfer - Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
11/13 - 9 days post transfer - More HCG is produced as fetus develops 
11/14 - 10 days post transfer - More HCG is produced as fetus develops 
11/15 - 11 days post transfer - HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

My blood test is on 11/17.  I'll probably cave and pee on a stick around day 9-10 but won't get too excited until I know the HCG number. Last time I was technically pregnant but the HCG number was only 28 and fell, resulting in a chemical pregnancy which is basically an early miscarriage.
