Post Ivf period

Got my period on Sunday during my 2WW 😞

Is it normal for it to be so painful and heavy? I never usually have any problems.

I've heard that it usually is. My period was heavy and painful after my first cycle but that was because I had a chemical. I think because the period has been delayed for so long during the cycle that when you do finally bleed, it's heavy and painful. I've been spotting too since last night 😥 xx

Sorry to hear you're spotting. I think you might be right about the delay. Hopefully I'll start to feel better tomorrow. Hope you're OK xx

You’ve also built up your lining to be super thick so there is more to shed... xx

Hey hun, I had a chemical pregnancy in my 2ww last week, and just started my period this Saturday. I’ve been in a lot of discomfort too and it’s a lot heavier than I normally get, so I’m thinking it’s normal.

I hope you’re ok, and remember to be looking after you xx
