Missy,

Blasts do tend to thaw better than day 2 embryos, so that's the good news. As for implantation, that happens between 7-10 days after fertilisation, so anywhere from 2 to 5 days after transfer.

Lastly, as far as lifting your baby there are people who would believe that you're best not to take chances and stay off your feet and not lift him, but there are others (like me) who think you should just continue with normal life, including lifting your son.

I have done both (rested and been extra careful, and also pretending it's like any other day) and when I fell pg, it was actually on a cycle when I was doing things like carrying a tonne of groceries and cleaning the house etc. Some say that the increased blood flow from exercising is good for you!

Good luck with it, Missy. I'll be crossing my fingers for you!
