Once you complete your embryo transfer, you will have approximately 1½ weeks to wait before a pregnancy can be detected. The following table outlines an approximate timeline for what happens during a successful pregnancy after a 5-day transfer (5dt).

5-Day Transfer
Days Past Transfer (DPT) | Embryo Development |
One | The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell |
Two | The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus |
Three | The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation |
Four | Implantation continues |
Five | Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop |
Six | Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream |
Seven | Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted |
Eight | Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted |
Nine | Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy |
After reading this, I think you should stay I'm bed until Saturday. Sorry, Todd.
