Feeling anxious today. I hate the waiting period. I'm just crying out to God to make this surrogacy attempt successful. My God can make dry bones live, can make all things new, and can certainly do this!
Our last go-round I was SOOOOOOOOOO confident, so this time I'm very gun shy, but still cautiously optimistic and trusting God, because what else can I do? I faithfully did my bed rest, I have avoided lifting over 10 lbs (much to Kenzie's dismay), and have been eating eggs, avocado, black beans, & salmon + drinking whole milk! It's in His hands now.
Today is 6dp5dt (6 days past 5-day embryo transfer). If you spend too much time on surrogacy and IVF blogs you will become fluent in crazy abbreviations and also a little crazy! I shared this last time, but here's a look at what's going on with these 2 little embryo-babies!
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 |
