3 day transfer

How soon can you test after a 3 day embryo transfer? My clinic does not test until 15 days after transfer! But I figure a hpt would give me an answer before that.  However I don't want to test too early.  I had my ET on 5/5/11.

Good luck with your blood work today.  I selected a boy have 3 other boy and 3 girl embryos that are frozen.  And it turns out the embryo split right before implantation so there is a possiblilty of identical twins.  Going to hpt on Saturday and bood test is Monday.  

Congrats on the hpt!!!!

I did a 5 day transfer on may 3 and tested positive on a hpt on may 10. I do my blood work tomorrow. I have lots of cramping off and on. No spotting though.

Transferred one excellent one and one good one.

I also did gender selection for a girl. I have a 3 yr old boy.

When I had my 5-day transfer, I was wondering how early was too early to test also.  I tested 5 days post transfer with a hpt and got a negative.  But both of my betas were positive, so it must have been too early.  Now I am 14 weeks pregnant! :)

During this time, my friend sent me the following information, which was SUPER helpful!  Hopefully it will help you too.

Best of luck and lots of baby dust!!



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

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



5-Day Transfer

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
