Spotting and cramps at 6dp3dt

[Rose2303]

So, I'm currently 6dp3dt. I have been getting twinges on and off for past few days, this morning I woke up and had some spotting which has continued throughout the day. It's a pinkish brown sorry if (tmi) and is on tissue when I wipe and small amount on panty liner. I have been having dull ache/cramps in my lower abdomen which I normally get with AF. I'm really hoping it's implantation. Could it be AF this early? Could the progesterone pessaries have stopped working? My boobs are no longer as sore as they were the first few days of taking the progesterone.

Six days past a 3 dt sounds perfect for implantation! Implantation can have a pinkish Brown discharge and cramps as the embryo snuggles in. Google timeline for 3dt and hopefully you will get some assurance. Good luck xx

[Rose2303 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. Yes I've seen the timeline fits with implantation but the cramps feel just like AF.

[Hidden in reply to Rose2303]

And they do. It’s weird. On my first bfp I was really crampy like af. Also your boobs will come and go to. The wait is really hard xx

Hey I’ve got the same sort of symptoms at mo and hoping it implantation too. 🤞🤞 for us both. I’m driving myself abit crazy as to if this is positive or not. Have heard can be a good sign and a bad sign oh so confusing. When ur otd mines a week Tuesday 😩 xx

[Rose2303 in reply to Dreamingofbaby]

Are you 6dp3dt too? It's such s hard wait. I caved and did a test this morning which was a bfn as to be expected this early.

[Dreamingofbaby in reply to Rose2303]

Heya I’m 6dp5dt so pretty similar. I’m trying to resist by hiding the tests from myself as be very tempted too. Yep def too early so hope u get ur positive hun. It feels like such a long and hard wait We can do this 🤞🤞🤞xxx

It’s so difficult to tell.. I had implantation spotting on one of my bfps at around 6/7 dp 5dt but on my last bfn I had brown spotting before otd which turned out to be the start of af. However I was only one day away from otd. And it’s worth bearing in mind that I’ve never bled before otd (other than my last transfer) because of the progesterone. Fingers crossed it could be implantation xx

[SeaChange]

Hey, fingers crossed for you it’s the implantation which sounds like it could be!

Stay strong, and hoping it will be a bfp in a few (looong) days time xx

[Rowly88]

Fingers crossed for you xx

[Dunla]

Hi lovely, I had exactly the same - 6 or 7 days post transfer. Spotting and blood when I wiped and cramp as if my period was about to start. I cried and was convinced it hadn’t worked..... well I’m typing this message with my 10 week old son asleep on my shoulder! So there is definitely hope!!! In fact I had cramp throughout the first trimester of my pregnancy and the blood was implantation bleeding. Really hope your story ends as happily as mine has. Good luck!! Xx

[Rose2303 in reply to Emma51]

Thank you. I hope so. Feeling really deflated as the bleeding has continued. It's very light but ongoing. I did another test today which was negative. My boobs don't hurt at all but I do feel sick and kept getting really hot last night.

I don't know what's going on.

[Emma51 in reply to Rose2303]

My boobs didn’t ever hurt so don’t worry. Stay positive- resist the urge to test. I know it’s hard but it won’t show up anything anyway so you’re beating yourself up. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Hi Rose. I am have just finished my first IVF cycle and spoke to the nurse about fluctuating symptoms, spotting etc. She said she knew it was absolutely impossible to (!) but you should really try not to worry about things coming and going and also bleeding.. every one is different and actually nothing really means anything at this stage because its all so early and we are on so many drugs anything could cause anything. Spotting at this stage definitely sounds encouraging and I would disregard the boobs because I am sure mine were caused by the trigger rather than the progesterone and that would be wearing off by now. As far as I know progesterone won't get any less effective unless you are not taking it correctly.

Having just been through the 2ww I know how horribly slow and what mental anguish it can be. All I know is some women spot all through pregnancies and have healthy babies so you are still very very much still in the game! Keep soldiering on! xx

[Purpledazzle27]

The agonising 2ww! I had spotting at 9dp5dt which continued on and off until my 12 week scan so you just really don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing unfortunately. Drove myself nuts worrying about it but all fine in the end. Had to keep telling myself to try and be positive but sooo hard as it was all I could think about. Good luck xx

[Hidden]

2WW is completely awful.

I haven’t done IVF but I have done many 2WWs over 7 years of TTC.

I had what I thought was period cramping 3 days before my period was due & was convinced I was out! It turned out to be implantation cramps! Cramping isn’t always a bad thing.

Fingers crossed for you that it’s implantation 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xoxo

That look like good new of implantation Hun. I remember on day 6 I had like light pink and after light brown spots only when I wipe . Cramps i experience after two days we had bfp. Xx

[Hidden]

I am hoping this has been implantation for you and wishing you all the best for OTD! Fingers crossed

[Nicnac2303]

I feel for you, I’m exactly the same, my period would have been due today. I had really bad cramping on Friday & Saturday & a headache, some usual symptoms of my period, and I’ve been to the toilet and when ive wipes I had some blood. Convinced my period is here xx

[Rose2303]

So anyone following this, looks like it's most likely AF the bleeding has continued for 4 days now and got heavier and is now bright red.

I spoke to my clinic on Monday and said I was worried I wasn't absorbing the progesterone. They said there wasn't anything I could do but wait for OTD. I still have 4 days to wait but with the amount of bleeding and cramps it seems pointless.

I feel my clinic should of increased my progesterone or added PIO or something. My poor embryo wouldn't of stood a chance with bleeding starting at 6dp3dt!
