Are you using pessaries? If so it’s probably just bits of those xx

Don’t panic. Your wee embryo would be a tiny little speck. Just think how a few days ago the lab were looking at it through a microscope to watch its progress and put it in the catheter ready for transfer. After all the hoking and poking I’m sure it’s normal to have some suspect discharge xx

I was close to cry to be honest. Don’t know what was that I heard during day 3 and 4 we can expect some blood but it wasn’t blood it wasn’t even like normal white discharge,more something in between. Hope my little embryo stay🤞🏻🙏🏻xx

It could just be discharge? There’s so much poking around down there with IVF it could be your body trying to rebalance itself with its CM? Sorry for the worry though! It’s impossible not to notice everything that goes on down there during the 2ww. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Hey Anna, as Dunla says it just a tiny speck at the moment about the size of a full stop apparently! You may get all sorts of weird discharge over the next couple of weeks. I been having loads of liquid come out in the last couple of days, feels really weird and each time convinced I have my period but thankfully not! Just hang on on there til test day, you're doing great ❤️ xx

Thanks Lilli, I don’t use my pessaries vaginaly so defo it wasn’t that. Do you know Is the colour of the discharge has different meaning or they all are the same? Just 10 more days till test day 🤦🏻‍♀️🤞🏻❤️Xx

Hi Anna, I think if it's white or clear that's perfectly normal. If it's brown it could be just old blood from your procedure. They only say you need to worry if it's a funny colour and bad smelling, as this can indicate an infection which doesn't necessarily mean the ivf hasn't worked though. There's lots of mucus at work in your cervix at the moment so it's probably just that x

Thanks! I feel a bit better now! This 2ww is really hard xx

I lost a baby at 4 and a half weeks and at stage I saw nothing - all I had was huge blood clots and fresh blood.

I really don’t believe you saw the embryo as it would be too small to see. I think it is more likely where your body has been poked and prodded about. Especially as you had pain after EC. The body doesn’t like being poked!!!

Good luck with your cycle 😊 the 2ww is tough xoxo

Hey honey,

I know it's easier said than done but pls pls don't stress yourself, when I was going through the 2ww nothing anyone said made sense and calmed me down... embryos cannot fall like this (please do read on some gynea backed websites and blogs) it's normal for women to release white slimey / sticky discharge during this time and continue during early pregnancy - it's all normal... I bled twice during the 2ww as that was implantation bleed and it all made sense as I'm preggers with twins...

Try to throw the worry out of the window and focus on your diet and try to maintain a calm mind - everything helps towards implantation...

Good luck 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Thanks Rubinaa! I know I’m too much should try to be more calm. I had a tough month maybe that’s why I’m worry about everything. Thanks again for information xx

May god bless you, take everything as it comes, I was a panic bag too, I can totally relate to you... but each day when I used to wake up I used to decid not to worry and take it as it comes, try to engage yourself in something and let nature do what's it gotta do.

Best of luck. 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Hey there! I hope you're doing good now. , your post made me laugh haha. When a woman's pregnant, many hormonal changes occur. Like the increase in your estrogen level. As you wrote here that you're only on your 3rd day. So the discharge must be a result of some hormonal changes. The second thing here is that you don't have to panic at all. Sometimes it really feels like you have lost it, but It's not always the thing. So don't stress yourself at this. I have seen girls crying over this thing haha. Don't stress. Relax. If you're still worried, then you can see your doc too! It would be better. Take care of yourself. And best of luck! Much love!
