Embryo after IVF transfer
I was curious what exactly happens with the embryo during the time between transfer and pregnancy test so I looked it up. I found this neat chart that tells you exactly what happens! I added a column to the left to show you what date I'm on for each day past transfer.

That is a neat chart!
ReplyDeleteYes it is! I was very excited to find it so that I'd know exactly what was going on in my body during my waiting period before the blood test. I look at this chart every morning so I can see where I am.
