Endometrial scratch and early period?

I had the scratch 9 days ago and no bleeding. Now I have my period 5 days early and much lighter than usual. Still looks like a proper bleed as bright red but need to start my FET meds on day 2 and concerned in case it isn't my bleed and messes up my FET cycle. Any experience with this? Thanks x

Hi there, when I had my scratch it made my period arrive a few days early but I have heard of people saying that it made them start even earlier than that. You’ll have a baseline scan at your clinic before you start meds anyway, will you? They can then confirm either way. Xx

Thank for replying. No they aren't scanning me before I start meds. First scan will be day 9. I'll call the clinic for some advice. X

Ah right. Yes I’d just give them a buzz and get some advice. I’m sure they will be able to confirm either way x

I was told it can make your period early/ late, more painful/ less painful and heavier/ lighter.

So any combination of different, basically :-)
