Bleed after failed ivf- sorry if TMI

Just wondering how long ppl had a bleed for after a failed fresh ivf process?

I got a BFN Friday, so didn't use the pesseries from Thursday evening, started spotting on Saturday then full on really heavy bleed sunday-wednesday, then from then I have a brownish bleed, like the end of a period, but doesn't actually seem to be an end in sight!

My normal period only last 5 days max, just wondering other people's experiences?? Xx

Hi jojo, sorry to hear about your bfn, my periods after a failed ivf are heavier and one has lasted a normal amount of time and the other one was heavier and longer. Hopefully we will both get our bfp soon, good luck xx

Thank u. Good luck to u too, fingers crossed for us. Do u have another round planned? Xx

Hi jojo my first period lasted a full 7 days! The second one was only 3 days and im on my next one now. I think it does throw your periods off a bit whilst things settle down again. I usually find its by the 3rd period i start having regular cycles xx

Thank u Glassway, the nurse I spoke to last Friday said my next proper period may b late as my body adjusts itself back to normal.

These r the things were not told before hand about if it fails and what the bleed is like after, reading these comments makes me feel a bit better and a bit more "normal" xx

I would be due on tomorrow so bet my life it does! Never mind won’t stop me having a good time xx

I bled whilst still on the pessaries before my otd both times and it was heavier, unsurprising really when you think your lining was built up to artificially high levels.
