2WW - heavy bleeding!

Hi, newbie here and to IVF. First fresh cycle and currently on my 2nd week of 2WW. Started bleeding on Sunday (7 days after transfer) and it’s continued! Clinic have told me to rest and test on my OTD which is Friday, two more days to wait - it’s like hell on earth! Does anyone have any positive stories after similar circumstances? I’m not holding out much hope now!

Have they given you any medication like progesterone or increased the dosage?Unfortunately since its only 7 days post transfer all you can do is wait and hope for the best (I know its no assurance). Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Yes I’m on progesterone 3 times a day! First thought I may have inserted applicator a bit to harsh but I can’t see that being the reason with the continuous bleeding, plus I’m now using my finger (sorry tmi) to ensure and still bleeding! Thank you for your reply x

I am afraid that you may be experiencing implantation bleeding. This bleeding happens when an egg is fertilized and implants into the uterus lining. It is slightly darker and has no lumps. Moreover, there are are other symptoms that yo9 can look for. It can be an ectopic pregnancy which is also accompanied by pain. One may experience some spotting. The home pregnancy tests are often not accurate. The HCG levels in urine are undetectable at this very early stage. If you are still impatient to test then test two days in a row. It gets darker than it is an indication that you are pregnant. If you find the positive results and if it gets bolder then clearly indicating you pregnancy otherwise if gets getting lighter than its a CP or the trigger shot is leaving your system. Let hope that it's your implantation bleeding or the trigger shot. Stay positive and update after the test.
