Implantation bleeding - IVF

[Rosie90]

Hi everyone,

So its my 9th day since my embryo transfer (5day blastocyst) and yesterday i started dark brown spotting i noticed it was lighter this morning now its spotting alot more. Wouldnt say its period its too brown iv never had this before. I also dont get regular periods. Could this be implantation bleeding also i have really bad leg cramps and no other symptoms. Really stressing me out my test is due next on the 19th.

Someone please tell me its a good sign🙈

Please help!

It could be implantation bleeding. Lots of ladies bleed during the first trimester.

I bled the day before our viability scan, which was brown spotting, bright red blood, dark red blood and then brown spotting all in the space of 20 minutes, I thought it was game over, but embryo was flickering away with a good heartbeat. It turns out I have a subchorionic hematoma.

My hospital told me to wear a pad to see how much your looking to identify if it’s a period or not.

With relation to it in urine, even if it was a normal period it would be visible in your urine, simply because we have no control over where the flow goes. If you wipe normally it’ll be at the front, the back and normally the tops of your legs

Thank you for your response i really hope it is implantation bleeding. But i guess il find out on the 19th my test day.

I started spotting just 5 days after the transfer and I was scared to death, but my HPT was positive so I didn't know what to think. From my experience I can tell you it can be implantation bleeding but it can also be a sign that your prosteron is low. In my case progesterone was the problem, I was spotting for over 2 weeks until finally my clinic decided to give me 2 extra pessaries and my spotting stopped completely. I would suggest to check your progesterone levels just to rule it out. Good luck 🤞♥️

Thanks i guess i will find out after the test. Im currently on Utrogestan 200mg 3 times a day. This morning i seen blood in my urine and when i wipe its brown and i feel im having period contractions

[Ranchu90 in reply to Rosie90]

I had exactly the same, at some point blood was dripping into the toilet not just when I wiped and it was fresh red blood. I was on 800mg Utrogestan per day, now I am on 1200mg. Cramps were really bad, I thought my period is coming but to my surprise not 😉. Try to find out as quick as you can your progesterone levels in case you need to adjust your medications. Take care ♥️🤗

Thanks i just rang my clinic they dont want me to make any changes till i do my test on the 19th she thinks it could be the pessaries causing the spotting. Thanks will update you 🤗

My clinic aldo didn't want to increase the dose without the results, which is fair enough. Don't think about anything bad you will be fine! 💓
