I can’t believe its been two weeks since Lizzie was bred – the days are just flying.  Lizzie is looking and acting like her usual self, so again I turn to the internet to tell me what exactly is going on inside there…

17 days ago, both ovaries (in theory) dropped eggs and they were fertilized (hopefully) days after Lizzie was bred.  Next the splitting began –  4 to 8 to 16 celled embryos were hanging around in the oviducts.  This past week, those embryos continued to split from 16 to 32 cells and officially became blastocysts – which is a fancy way of saying an embryo that’s ready to implant into the uterus.  As of today, most if not all of the blastocysts should have traveled from the oviducts into the uterine horns, and found a spot for implantation.  (For those of you following along at home, I’ve added a “map”.)

Due to Lizzie’s uterine issues, the only thing we can do now is hope and pray.  The first big hurdle is for the blastocysts to find an undamanged area to try and implant.
