Could it be an implantation bleed??

[CJones40]

I started stimms injections 15 days ago, did 6 days of injections and then the cycle was cancelled due to lack of follicles. So my last injection was 9 days ago.

They said that I had 3 follicles that would probably release eggs in the next few days so they said that we could still try naturally for this time- which obviously we did!

The clinic told me to ring when AF arrives so that we can start our next cycle. That should have been around the 2/3rd feb.

Since about 9.30 this morning I’ve been bleeding lightly. (If it is AF it is 8-9 days early!) Usually I bleed heavily for the first 2 days. I don’t know if it’s come early and very light because of the affects of the injections, or I have considered it could be an implantation bleed??

I have rang the clinic to say that AF has arrived and they’ve said we haven’t left enough time to start the next cycle so aren’t going to bother scanning me.

I don’t have any ‘period pains’ but for the last few days I have had sore boobs and feeling nauseous now and again (but that also could be normal symptoms after injections?? or my mind playing tricks on me!)

I can’t allow myself to get my hopes up and believe that it could be an implantation bleed because I know chances are it’s just the hormones messing with my body!

Any one else had a similar experience or know what’s going on please?

Holy crap...well i'm excited for you as certainly sounds positive. I dont know maybe awful advice but id say why not let yourself get a little excited at times...i mean this ivf route has plenty of disappointment and miserable times so why not take what we can from the hopeful times. Less face it you already think its a possibility so gonna be disappointed if its not even if you havent let yourself get too excited. Anyway...really hope for you its implantation and not AF.x

Thank you. Such a sweet message! You’re right about all the disappointments, I like your advice! It’s ok to be positive sometimes just scared to be too positive! Xx

I did a freeze all cycle so wasn't taking anything to support my lining as you would with a fresh transfer and got my period just 5 days after EC. All these hormones can really mess up your cycle. Having said that, it was a normal period, not particularly light... keep us posted, I hope it's a crazy out of the blue BFP for you xxx

Thank you. I can always hope but trying not to think about it too much or get my hopes up! -easy to say! Haha. But I do know it’s probably just the drugs. Xx

Just a quick update....

the bleeding carried on for 5 days- very lightly but I still feel this is too long to be an implantation bleed! Did a test yesterday and it was a BFN. I have been having headaches, but no nausea or sore boobs anymore.

I don’t know what’s going on. Jus have to wait until AF shows up again now to start the IVF cycle again.
