Anyone know how long after ET implantation can occur?
Hope this helps (sorry for the dodgy copy & paste I'm on the iPad, the numbers are for the days post transfer)
What Happens After an Embryo Transfer?
Once you complete your embryo transfer, you will have approximately 1½ weeks to wait before a pregnancy can be detected. The following tables outline an approximate timeline for what happens during a successful pregnancy after a 3-day transfer (3dt) and a 5-day transfer (5dt).
3-Day Transfer Days Past*Transfer (DPT) *
Embryo Development
*One The embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula
*Two The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst
*Three The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell*
*Four The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
*Five The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation*
*Six Implantation continues
*Seven Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop*
*Eight Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream*
*Nine Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted*
*Ten Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted**
*Eleven Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy*
