            I found this on line and thought it helpful in understanding what is taking place right with the babies:

 


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
