ivf pregnancy stopping meds

[Catlover89]

Hi all

I’m currently 10+3 and my clinic said it would be ok to stop taking all my meds at 10weeks, which I did. Iv had spotting yesterday morning and this morning, just when I wipe going to the toilet and now my anxiety is through the roof. Does anyone know if this is normal? Iv heard the placenta takes over around this point but I’m just worrying now especially as I needed an extra prog injection as it was low at transfer. The spotting faded out yesterday and stopped at some point but now iv woken up with the same thing this morning. I don’t have any pain. Just looking for some reassurance.

Thanks all

Hi Catlover89, I stopped all meds at week 9 and I too had issues with low progesterone before. I had random brown spotting at weeks 7 and 10. Both resolved within 24 hours. I had my scan the day of my spotting at week 7 and they said it was coming from the cervix, not the uterus, and absolutely nothing to worry about. I had a scan about 3 days before the spotting at week 10 and they had confirmed my placenta looked fine for that stage. If you are worried, see if you can get in for a scan today/tomorrow for reassurance but know it is really common at this stage and usually all completely fine. Hoping it is the same for you as it was for me. I'm currently 37 weeks and have had no other issues through my pregnancy so far. Good luck xx
